Federal Senator Paul Scarr congratulates our own “International Media Mogul”, Jitendra Deo

The Queensland Senator is no stranger to the Multicultural Communities as he graciously frequents respective diaspora community events.
Our Senator friend is an unmistakable father and elderly figure across our multicultural Queensland and beyond and has over the years garnered a lot of respect from community leaders.
A very timely suggestion he made during the Girmit Celebration Speech in the Girmit and Deo Family Foundations event of May 18th, 2024 that “our students in High School should learn more of our Pacific History” noting the over 60 thousand indentured laborers from far away India brought sparingly to Fiji, in the Pacific from 1879 to 1916 .
Senator Scarr passionately and rightly reminisced that “I wonder how proud your ancestors must be to see everything you have achieved. To see everything their descendants have achieved is absolutely spectacular, it is just incredible.”
Many Pacific Community leaders and even us here at your Brisbane Indian Times like to believe that Senator Scarr is our Pacific Man and Multicultural advocate within the echelons of power in Canberra. Even before he entered the Australia Upper House of Parliament and appointed Shadow Assistant Minister for Multicultural Engagement, our friend Senator Paul Scarr has numerous professional and personal firsthand experiences within the Pacific and multicultural communities.
Unlike many sitting Australian Parliamentarian who only visit the Pacific for a few days holiday, Senator Scarr, however for a period lived and worked in the Pacific as a Senior Associate of a major Law Firm with offices in Australia and PNG.
In edifying our beloved budding “International Media Mogul” Jitendra was not just a pleasantry comment of a speaker of the event but Senator Scarr echoing the spirit of his purpose and intent of one of the reason he wanted to be a people’s representative in the Australian Senate when he passionately declared in his maiden speech in Senate on September 10th 2019 that “ One of the driving reasons I sought election to this place was to make it easier, not harder, for Australians to pursue opportunity and create wealth through their own initiative, their own enterprise and their own spirit”
Senator Scarr is, indeed, an endeared friend of us migrants who on few occasions feels our rights are at time intentionally or inadvertently trample upon. To his credit in the same maiden speech, he added shamelessly that “I will always be a fierce defender of the right of the individual to express their views, to hear other people’s opinions and to be sovereign over their own beliefs, thoughts and conscience.”
In concluding one of the best maiden speeches ever delivered by a new member of Parliament the all-inclusive words of wisdom and hope of a true widely respected community elder and father figure to diaspora communities in the multicultural Australia that graciously asserts that “We are all Australians now.”
The Deo family of Brisbane, Queensland, proprietors of the JD Media Corporation, are grateful we Queenslanders can be represented in the Australian Federal Senate by our dear friend, Senator Paul Scarr.
Please read below Senator Scarr full speech at the Girmit Celebration 2024:
Good evening, everyone.
What a wonderful delight to be here with you.
Can I acknowledge the traditional owners and pay my respect to past, present and emerging, and Jitendra to your family and everyone involved in the organisation of this event.
Congratulations, Congratulations to Jitendra and family.
Thank you very much.
I just want to share three reflections with you today.
The first, the over sixty thousand who came from India to Fiji between 1879 and 1916, I wonder how proud your ancestors must be to see everything you have achieved. To see everything their descendants have achieved is absolutely spectacular, it is just incredible.
It has not just been as we heard, have just been the contribution of Fiji, but all the other countries where the diaspora has moved to, including Australia, to have made a wonderful contribution.
I should also say, I acknowledge James as the MP for Stretton and Jon who was here as Mayor of Logan. Cr Frazier and my good friend Pinky Singh, candidate for Mansfield.
I am lucky I do not have to be precocial, I am a Senator for the whole of Queensland, the whole of Queensland, does not matter if you are in Logan, Stretton, in Mansfield or wherever you are, I am your representative. Which makes things easier.
So, congratulations to everyone who received an award earlier today.
The second thought I want to share with you is I think our students in High School should learn more of our Pacific History, right?
There is not enough history of the Pacific taught to children in high school, and I think we should learn more of our Pacific History because it is absolutely fascinating, and this is one of the chapters in the History of Pacific. So, I want to share that thought with you.
Lastly, in relation to our “International Media Mogul”, Jitendra, Congratulations! Multicultural media is just so important in terms of keeping people together, keeping the Diaspora together, informed, pursing issue of key importance to relevant diasporas and I am sure Jitendra, you and your family will just do wonderful job in terms of impetus in sowing this.

Diya of hope lit 145 years ago burns on in our hearts

Diya of hope lit 145 years ago burns on in our hearts
For few years now, pre and post global pandemic the Fiji Girmit Foundation Australia has hosted the Anniversary celebrations in Queensland, Australia.
The Engine room however to bring this event to reality was the generous sponsorship of Deo Family Charitable Foundation and Deo Group of Companies.

Fair to note the numerous patriotic interests generated with the proud descendants of the Girmit forebears. A Girmit legacy that has warmed the hearts of the Indian Community globally even Indian descendants of later Indian migrants.
The Girmit phenomenon, though shameful and ruthless the sad history it records, has now become a respected and revered global brand of human survival and modern day exemplary and noticeable global achievements of her descendants in all continents and territories across the globe.

The Fiji Girmit Foundation Australia and her sponsors eternally treasures the Girmit phenomenon. Hence, with all honourable intent and purposes have gone above the rhetoric severally mimicked in intermitted post and periodic blog in social media, now decided to up the ante in not only celebrating anniversaries of Girmit era but duly recognising exceptional professional and civic achievements of nominated Girmit descendants.
On May 18th, 2024, was the second time these awards were deservingly presented to Girmit descendants from Fiji, now residents of Queensland.
It was fitting therefore for the Chairman of the Fiji Girmit Foundation Australia, Jitendra Deo in a passionate speech expounded on the essence of Girmit and both Foundation’s vision and mission to keep Diya of hope lit 145 years ago burning in our hearts.

JITENDRA PRASAD – Charter president, past District Governor, and current District 9620 membership director.

SHOBNA BALI – PRO of Indian Senior Citizens Association
Many others, I may be unable to mention all of you, I am so grateful and thank you all for your continued support for a most worthy course of public interest.
This month of May, and into June, a few countries around the world who were recipients of the thousands of Girmit workers from Indian in the 1800s, will commemorate Girmit day. Fiji will be joined by Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Vincent, Grenadines and Suriname and others.
According to Girmit.org a comprehensive website on Girmit information and data composed by our dear sister Vanita Kumar, that over 2 million Indians were shipped to these Colonies around the globe in the mid-1800s to 1916. This website affirms that 60,500 were shipped to the Fiji Islands.
Ladies and gentlemen, please, I beg each of you to travel back with me in time to the early 1800 and attempt picture our Girmit forebearers long torturous open ocean journey with a very bleak promises for personal prosperity to hang on to. Landing in a land foreign in every way; foreign in language, political, religious and traditional culture, and even culinary preference.
Traumatised, tired and malnourished were our forebearers’ bodies and minds, still swaying in the rhythm of the open sea journey, over many weeks. A journey they were promised will just be around the corner for a few hours or few days.
From these fear and uncertainty, our forebears resolved the only way to steady their lives on firm life-foundation in a foreign land was through hard work, Indian perseverance gracefully weathering the ruthless colonial storms and challenges as semi-slaves.
How could we, the new millennium Girmitya descendants even consider chucking this proud legacy to the back burners of life?
Without them and their individual sweat and blood sacrifice, we most definitely would not have reached the plateau of prosperity, democracy and have a claim to our respective autonomy where we are today freely achieving what we aspire to be.
My wife Shanjeshni, I and our two handsome sons Ravneel and Soneel, with all honourable intent and purpose did engrave in the Constitution of our family foundation the vision and mission to advance the culture and identity of the Indian community in Australia , providing information on the history of the Girmitya to members and the general public through events and activities bringing in positive difference in the lives of people, empowering individuals and communities to achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.
This is such a momentous event, and today, as you individually bless us with your attendance to celebrate the Australia Girmit foundation fourth Girmit anniversary celebrations, indeed humbles us as a family. In fact, most of the credit must be afforded to most or all of you who have been with us since our inaugural event in 2021.
Even the ruthless pandemic era did not dampen all our resolve to still meet in May and commemorate such worthy sacrifice that altered the globe’s economic, political, social landscape then, now and for ever.
Their dreams were not in vain at all for they were people of faith. While crossing the wide-open ocean they yearned and cried in prayer to the God and gods they worship. Majority were Hindus, some Muslim and very few Christians.
Standing on the deck of those Girmit sailing ships watching the night skies with glittering stars during those open sea journey, our forebearers must have in deep prayer yearned for home, motherland India. At the end of a back-breaking labour of the 7 days working week must have been draining in all sense of the word. Night would have been spent thinking and wishing for better tomorrows for them and later their toddlers innocently enjoying the humble mud floor hut or overcrowded barracks.
Ladies and gentlemen, from the cloudy dust of uncertainty and tyranny our people rose with dignity, rose from near slavery to liberty. Over the decades, out of the loins of Girmityas, were born the remnants of the blessings of our forebears, producing leaders and pioneers in many fields, even as Prime Ministers.
We have indeed come a long way as a people grouping. We the proud Girmityas descendant will continue to sail on in whatever through God’s providence will bring our way.
Later in tonight’s program our Chief Guest, His Worship Councillor Jon Raven, Mayor of Logan City, has been invited to inaugurate the Global Indian TV. This online TV channel is part of the JD Media Group’s tripartite cross-media group with the Australian Indian Radio and tabloid, Brisbane Indian Times.
To conclude, as I mentioned many of life events are through God’s providence, as this time last year we would have laughed it off if someone taunted that in 12 months’ time, we would be blessed owners of these 3 cross-media entities.
Would have been less stressful to comfortably stay in our Real Estate and Electrical Business and return home every day and enjoy each other’s company.
However, the sweat and blood sacrifice of our forebears Girmityas and the platform of courage and firm foundations of life they built should not and must not be chucked away to the back burners of life.
The Fiji Girmit Foundation Australia, Deo Family Charitable Foundation, and the JD Media cross-media group will climb any mountain, cross any valley and sail any seas or whatever it takes to keep the Girmit legacy alive!
That is our lifetime commitment, and we thank each of you who would take that journey with us.
Vinaka Vakalevu, Dhanyavaad.

GLOBAL INDIAN TV – Connecting Indians globally

On May 18, 2024, will forever be remembered as the inauguration day of the Global Indian TV channel by His Worship Cr Jon Raven, Mayor of Logan City. Pictured here, during the ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Jon Raven are the Directors of the Deo Group of Companies led by the Chairman Mr. Jitendra Deo, Mrs. Shanjeshni Deo, sons Ravneel Deo and Soneel Deo with the convenor of the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Lewis Lee OAM.
A major feature of your Global Indian TV will be well selected Hindi Movies sourced not only from Bollywood productions but from other Indian Diaspora production houses globally.
Nothing mythical but mere coincidence that historically on May 18, 1912, the first Hindi film “Shree Pundalik” was released at the Coronation Cinematograph, Girgaum, Mumbai. Now Indian movies number in the hundreds and thousands. Affected by the pandemic the numbers dropped to 564 releases in 2020 and now at 1,796 new releases in 2023!
You heard of the “Smiling Buddha”? Well, glad you asked. On May 18, 1974, under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, India detonated its first atomic bomb named the Smiling Buddha. Keep reading your Brisbane Indian Times so you will not miss some nuggets of news like this.

But please do remember May 18, 2024, as the day your Global Indian TV was majestically inaugurated with fanfare witnessed by dignitaries present; the Federal Senator Paul Scarr, Queensland State Parliamentarian MP James Martin, Cr Tim Frazer and other distinguished guests and a global audience of the Global Indian TV channel.
The orbiting globe of the Global Indian TV logo underpins the very essence of the global reach of your Television Channel, streaming far and wide into our homes.
Let us pause and admire this fascinating ability to view Television of high-definition image now available on a device in the palm of your hand. Admirable indeed, the journey of the invention of Television went through many hands from every corner of the globe over the century since 1884, around the time our Girmit forebears were hoodwinked into taking the journey away from motherland India.
The arrival of Television around the second Industrial revolution era profoundly altered the world as media consumers habit undergoes a significant shift.
It amazes us how the pioneer inventors discovered in amazement the basic four key technologies that had to be developed before any form of television could become a possibility. A device to change light into an electric current, change the electric current back into light, a scanning device to break the image up into small elements, and an electronic amplifier to increase weak signals to a usable level.
From these basic and very important discoveries stemmed the development of ideas towards a successful television system.
The Television journey has taken us from Mechanical television, sometimes known as mechanical scan television (CRT), to Electronic Television that uses electronic signals to produce images on a video screen and transmits images and sounds by means of radio waves, microwaves, or infrared rays.
The Digital era heralds in the Digital television using digital technology and receiving television signals via terrestrial, satellite, or cable networks.
In comes the new millennium with Smart television, integrated Internet, and interactive Web features, such as apps, streaming media, and Web browsing. Smart TVs allow users to stream content from the Internet and the use of social networking services.
Enjoying Global Indian TV on a handheld device beaming wirelessly from a mega server would have been the envy of the first BBC broadcast during the Coronation of King George VI in May 1937. How is this for starters, when eight miles of television cable weighing several tons was laid around central London, providing the link for live coverage of the procession was recognized as a record with over 10,000 in TV audience watching the coronation.
In May last year, in the late King George VI grandson King Charles III coronation an average of 18.8 million people tuned in to watch in the UK. That is not yet considering the syndicated recipient TV stations in countries like Australia, NZ, Canada, US etc.
Thank you, to the inventors and pioneers of this gift to humanity.
Now for you, the reader, to enjoy, not through cumbersome tons of cable to reach you, but easily accessible by simply click on the Global Indian TV App on Google drive or App Store.
Stay connected with your Global Indian TV, 24/7. We sure enjoy your company, as you will enjoy ours.
