O Raghubir. Back when the Gannon scandal was going on, some political blogs wanted to investigate this character. His contact info is very easy to find. Someone call him and get him on as a guest blogger here!

Amardeep! I've seen a copy of the India Globe. I think Raghubir Goyal had some connection with Express India also? In the days pre www, my family used to subscribe to both of these to know what was happening in the local desi community. India Globe and Express India were part of a media empire including a 1-2 hour radio show, and tv show (if I remember correctly.)

10,000 circulation? I can't imagine the circulation being that high.

If Raghubir Goyal ever get a chance to do an interview with Iraq’s former minster of information Baghdad Bob it would be priceless.

So how does a paper with a local distribution of 10,000 copies get a regular White House pass? I'm sure those things are highly coveted. Just curious.

I think 10,000 copies is probably highly inflated, especially since no one I know has ever seen a copy of "India Globe."

Still, I wonder: Sepia Mutiny gets around 10,000 readers a day. Is that enough to get me a press pass too?

QUESTION: I have checked with the Pakistan and Indian officials, and they have signed it between Pakistan and China. MR. RUBIN: Well, if you’d like to come work for the State Department, then the fact that you’ve done some checking will help me be sure the report is true. But pending that, I’d like to have our experts check that out.

Goyal runs a paper called India Globe, of which he sends out some 10,000 copies.”

Why would you think he wouldn't play the same role in the Obama White House that he's played under both Bush and Clinton? It's interesting that nothing related to Mr. Goyal even shows up on the first page of a Google search for "India Globe" but maybe this explains it: "Goyal runs a paper called India Globe, of which he sends out some 10,000 copies."
