The Theft of Words: Understanding Plagiaris.

Plagiarism, or the act of stealing writings, was the focus of the 2008 issue of the renowned literary magazine 'Asbat' in India. In this issue, a notable article titled 'Plagiarism' by the late Mushfiq Khwaja is being narrated in this video. The tone is quite lighthearted. Khwaja, who is also known by the pen name Khama Bagosh, compares the writings of Agha Ashraf, an author in Urdu and Punjabi, with those of Dr. Yusuf Hussain Khan. Despite a span of 22 years between the publication of their books, the events described in both works are remarkably similar. The author has attempted to illustrate plagiarism by providing examples from these two books. Such instances are also found in the film industry, where stories are written by authors as well. This kind of literature should not be considered creation but rather labor, as it involves resorting to the works of others when one cannot come up with anything original or when their own abilities fall short. What are your thoughts?
