Meet the Writers

Hindu Voice UK, April 2007

Rajesh Patel: Editor

The co-editor and founder of Hindu Voice UK, Rajesh was always struck by the fact that there were few (if any) media sources catering for Hindus or gave a Hindu perspective on current affairs. Having written pamphlets and articles about all kinds of stuff through his uni-life (including a short spell as a commie), a magazine seemed a logical move, and thus Hindu Voice UK was born. Rajesh works as a pharmacist, which he enjoys a lot, although he says that if he had enough money he would concentrate more on being a full-time writer.



Rudra Chatterjee

An Indian national living in London, but having spent most of his life in Indonesia, Rudra fancies himself as a bit of a creative genius and has so much faith in his abilities that he has just spent his entire life savings establishing a film studio. More about him can be found in his personal spiritual journey.



Pavan Verma

Paven is the youngest Hindu Voice UK writer. From Hounslow, he got the crap kicked out of him in his younger years, so started training and eating his dhal and rotis like never before at the age of 16. He currently stands at 6 foot 4 and weighs in at 16 stone (although I’d still beat him up). His passions are women, kickboxing, basketball and Hinduism.

 

 

Neha Gohil: Co-editor

Neha is co-editor of Hindu Voice UK, together with Rajesh, who she has known since their college days. A fiery public speaker and debater, Neha Gohil has an opinion on anything and everything, although she exercises this primarily by brutally editing out parts of other writers’ articles. At one point she wanted be become an MP, but is now working an extremely busy and strenuous job in a ‘hedge-fund’, so has had to put her political ambitions on the back seat for the time being while she tries to make her fortune.



Sheena Patel

A late joiner, Sheena is now one of Hindu Voice UK’s most prolific writers. Her personal story can be found here. Today, she is working towards becoming and Actuarist, and writes for Hindu Voice UK in most of her free time.



Asmita Mehta

Currently doing her teachers training in London, Asmita grew up in Uttar Pradesh in the 1990s. She was born in London, but unusually her parents decided to settle in Uttar Pradesh to take part in the Rama Janmabhoomi Campaign, centred on building a Rama-temple in Ayodhya at the site that is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama. Having witnessed the monumental failure of that movement, Asmita believes strongly in education as having been the missing factor, and hence her choice of profession as well as her dedication towards writing for Hindu Voice UK
