of eminent personalities will select the winner.
Established in 1972 Gujarat Samachar and Asian Voice are two leading national news-weeklies for
British Asians. Gujarat Samachar is published in Gujarati and Asian Voice in English. Each paper is
produced specifically for Gujarati and English speaking readers. We publish several theme-based
