Historian Richard Fox Young accuses writer Rajeev Malhotra of plagiarism

Renowned historian and academic Richard Fox Young had alleged that Indian research scholar and writer Rajeev Malhotra has plagiarised his works. [caption id=“attachment_2331626” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Rajeev Malhotra. Image courtesy: Twitter](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/rajeev-malhotra.jpg) Rajeev Malhotra. Image courtesy: Twitter[/caption] This led to a Twitter spat between the two, which soon turned into a full-blown war between their fans and supporters. Young, first brought to light the fact that Malhotra had taken chunks off his works to include in his own books Breaking India and Indra’s Net. Following are some tweets that Young put out to back his claims:

Malhotra was also not far behind. Following are a few tweets he put out to defend himself:

Then he went to accuse that Young is a ‘mediocre White man’ out to confuse all Hindus.
