If plagiarism had a celebrity it will be of @vivekagnihotri for in his recent video () on #WilliamDalrymple he has lifted sentences verbatim from @dharmadispatch 's article (dharmadispatch.in/culture/a-fest…) w/o batting an eyelid. Let me dissect the plagiarism. 1/n
2/n in the opening remark, purportedly made to appear as his, #vivekagnihotri says at 1.25 in the video regarding the quote from Churchill. Well these were the opening lines from Sandeep's article:
3/n further on #vivekagnihotri says about Suleman Rushdie at around 3.10 in the video, its a direct lift aka theft from Sandeep's article. Look here
4/n at 3.33 when #vivekagnihotri quotes the NYT look, he is quoting from the same article in the same flow in which it is written
5/n moving ahead at around the 4th min #vivekagnihotri literally translates Sandeep's English in to hindi and rattles out the names of literary figures in the very same order. See for urself
6/n at 7.55 #vivekagnihotri masquerades as a well read bibliophile while quoting Rohinton Mistry whereas he was actually reading sentences, word by word from Sandeep's article. Look here
7/n at 8.17 #vivekagnihotri just translates Sandeep's sentence in Hindi.
8/n around 8.38 our celebrity plagiarist #vivekagnihotri rattles out a quote from Hartosh Bal's essay which is essentially from Sandeep's article
9/n @vivekagnihotri ji u r a creative person. So at least if u had jumbled up the plagiarised pieces, I wudnt have made out. U bring out Urban Naxals n their activities. Taking curs n inspiration from u it is in the same spirit I brought out this plagiarism by u.
10/n n/n Hope #vivekagnihotri continues to bring out the urban naxals but starts to give due credit to original writers too. As I often say in my class "secret of success is to hide the source" but devil definitely lies in the details. 😉
P.s it is to all the naive gullible followers: im reminded of what my teacher says n something that I often quote in my class 'trust but verify' so please use ur discretion b4 following some1 blindly.
