India Abroad
Every week, a publication rolls off the presses in New York City with stories that matter to Indian Americans, diaspora members, and expats scattered across the globe. What started in 1970 when publisher Gopal Raju launched the venture has grown into the oldest Indian newspaper still operating across North America, delivering reporting that goes deeper than surface-level coverage. The winter months bring a particular energy to the newsroom as community members gather around stories of home, cultural celebrations, and the experiences that connect them across continents. The publication maintains a track record for meticulous journalism that caught the attention of major outlets like The Economist, which praised its editorial standards as remarkably thorough. Beyond the weekly editions, the team puts considerable effort into an annual ceremony celebrating the "India Abroad Person of the Year," an event that has become a fixture for recognizing exceptional contributions within the community.
