Not only his father but a series of people introduced politics, the judiciary system, and other major aspects of a nation to him. For the unversed, Arnab Goswami's mother, Suprabha Goswami is an author, while his paternal grandfather, Rajani Kanta Goswami was a lawyer, and his maternal grandfather, Gaurisankar Bhattacharyya served as the Leader of the Opposition in Assam.
