Awaz The Voice, a multimedia digital platform that has been running successfully for two years, added Awaz Radio Hindi to its gamut of offerings. As an independent, not-for-profit, and nationalistic platform, Awaz The Voice has made its presence felt across India and this new feature which will run on Spotify is going to take the Awaz mission deeper across the world. 

Awaz Podcast has regular programs on diverse themes and some veteran personalities are going to conduct them. Manjit Thakur, Onika, and Ajay Mathur are some of the important hosts who are entertaining and educating the audience with their unique voices. 

The world is increasingly becoming a global village, where people from different parts of the globe interact and coexist. As such, inclusivity and diversity are becoming more important values in our society. Awaz the Voice has been at the forefront of promoting these values. The launch of Awaz Radio is a testament to this commitment to diversity and mutual brotherhood in India. 

Awaz Radio, which will run on Spotify, is a platform for podcasts on topics that promote diversity and inclusivity. The podcasts will be in five different languages, English, Hindi, Urdu, Assamese, and Marathi making them accessible to a wider audience. Hindi and English podcasts are already on. 

The topics will cover a range of issues, including gender, religion, culture, and topics of current interest that promote universal brotherhood and national harmony. The platform aims to create awareness and promote mutual understanding among people from different backgrounds.

The launch of Awaz Radio is timely, given the current global climate. In recent years, we have witnessed a surge in hate speech, discrimination, and intolerance in many parts of the world. These negative attitudes often stem from ignorance and a lack of understanding of different cultures and backgrounds. Awaz Radio seeks to bridge this gap by creating a platform where people can learn and engage with each other positively and inclusively.

The addition of Awaz Radio to Awaz the Voice is a significant step towards promoting diversity and inclusivity in India. It is commendable that the production team at Awaz the Voice has taken this bold step to create a platform for promoting mutual understanding and brotherhood among people of different backgrounds. The podcasts will provide a wealth of knowledge and insights that can help break down stereotypes and prejudices.

It is also worth noting that the choice of Spotify as the platform for Awaz Radio is strategic. Spotify is a leading global streaming platform with a diverse user base. By partnering with Spotify, Awaz Radio will have access to a wider audience, both within India and globally. Its broader reache will promote inclusivity and diversity.

The addition of Awaz Radio to Awaz the Voice is a significant development that should be celebrated. It is a step towards creating a more inclusive and diverse society, where people of different backgrounds can interact and coexist peacefully.
