Hi Everyone,

I have only recently started to write on this forum after falling in love with the portrayal of Alexander in this show. I come here to express my thoughts, share my excitement, and analyze the characters to the best of my ability. I also feel happy to be part of this little family that loves the show and have interesting discussions.

It's been a little over a week since my first post on this forum and I am extremely disappointed that what I write here is being plagiarized by one or more persons and used on social media.

If you like any of my comments or statements and want to reuse them, please ask for permission or at least have the decency to give me credit. Copying and pasting my words and presenting them as your own is very hurtful.

I have just discovered this and it has killed my spirit of sharing my feelings on this forum. I am not sure I want to write here anymore.

To those of you who have wronged me this way: you know who you are. It's never too late to correct your mistakes and I sincerely hope you will not repeat this with me or anyone else. It is unfair and unethical.

This is deplorable, my dear.

Though it is in its way an indirect compliment, you cannot be expected to see it as such! I do not know how even the mods here can detect and pull up the offenders, but perhaps you could try contacting them and giving them details of both the original post here and of the plagiarised version on FB or wherever it was

This happened to me once, when an IF member copied the whole of my analysis of an episode of the crime serial Arjun (where Rohit Purohit had a small role), and posted it as her own in Forum 32, the chat forum for the serial. It was comic. The offending copy was removed, and I was advised to post only with Copy Protect, but that was cumbersome in other ways, so I stopped using it after a while.

Thanks Aunty. I am tempted to name and shame but it's not my style. I will reach out to the mods for help.

Dear Inlieu,
I am thoroughly ashamed to admit that the culprit with all due responsibility is me.A couple of days ago while replying to a post of Rohit on Twitter,I used your words for Alexander,.i.e.,the Lion/Panther comparison.
But believe me it was not done intentionally.I was replying on Twitter and this comparison just occurred to me at the moment and I used it in my reply.
Had I known that this act of mine would hurt you to this extent then I would have never done it.It was done unwittingly and was totally unintentional but I take full responsibility for it.
I sincerely apologise for this mistake and please forgive me.And please do not stop posting in the forum for this reckless act of mine.

I am posting the SS too.Once again I apologise.The moment I read this post of yours I realised the gravity of my actions and deleted that tweet of mine.

Dear Blacksheep,
I really appreciate you posting this. It shows that you are a very sincere person, but you are not the person I was talking about. You used some of my references but did not copy my posts verbatim, which is what I referred to really as plagiarism.

It takes courage to talk about this in public and also take corrective action, and you've earned my respect and appreciation by writing about this here even though you were not at fault. 👏


If you want to know what upset me, please see what I wrote in my post of May 9 on Rohit keeps getting better and better as Alexander here: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4986484&PID=147139879&#p147139879

Despite having less screen time, I am super impressed with how Alexander's character graph has been shown and even more in awe of Rohit's portrayal. He makes me believe he is Alexander and is the only reason I watch this show.

Today's face off with Darius was just awesome! Rohit became Alexander - every cell in his body showing the confidence, arrogance, and sheer determination to conquer. I am not even going to get started on his dialogue delivery and piercing gaze...

and compare with this Twitter message posted on May 11 by someone with the username Aayushi1234:
https://twitter.com/Aayushis1234/status/994985333329543170


You will notice how entire phrases have been copied and pasted from my post. When I first read this post on twitter, I thought "What? This sounds exactly like me!"

Your message on Twitter was a nod to but not a plagiarized version of my post, so rest easy, my dear. No hard feelings. Feel free to repost the original message that you deleted.

Take care.

Dear Inlieu,
Thank you so much for clarifying this matter.When I realised that I might have hurt you albeit unwittingly I was feeling terribly guilty.
I am feeling relieved now.

The person who posted this tweet however does owe you an apology.

Once again I request that you do not stop writing in this forum.We need more writers like you.

Love,
Ashi😃
