Hamant Verma

Hamant Verma is the editor of Eastern Eye, Britain's biggest-selling Asian newspaper.

He is credited with taking the paper back to its anti-racism roots. He has supported the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority's proposal for the British Empire to be taught as a compulsory subject in schools and has campaigned on behalf of doctors and highly-skilled workers who have suffered because of sudden changes to immigration rules.

He is also an active member of the Lelung Dharma Trust and Free Tibet, and was a judge at Amnesty International Media Awards in 2007.

Eastern Eye stages the annual Asian Business Awards for which it publishes the Asian Rich List.
