India Abroad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

India Abroad is a weekly newspaper published from New York City, which focuses on Indian news meant for an Indian American, Indian diaspora and expatriate audience. The publication is known for its annual award ceremony for the "India Abroad Person of the Year."

India Abroad was founded by Indian American publisher Gopal Raju in 1970. [1] India Abroad calls itself "the oldest Indian newspaper published in North America."[2] Under Raju's guidance, India Abroad quickly gained a reputation as one of the most credible, well researched voices for the Indian American community.[3] The Economist, a British weekly international affairs magazine, once referred to India Abroad as a daily publication of “unusually high quality”.[3][4]

Raju sold India Abroad to Rediff.com in April 2001, which now owns and operates the paper. [1][5]

Gopal Raju died in New York City on April 10, 2008.[5]
