Home ADDENDUM TO MY POST : A few media houses have been calling to confirm and asking for quotes on this piece. Please note, I have written this post on my own accord and NOT on behalf of Mr Shah Rukh Khan. I have mentioned my official designation to avoid speculations. This is not a press release. â¦.And so it beginsâ¦the âNthâ time. Bloggers and journalists who have no talent and constantly rely on the reflective glory have tried to sensationalize a non-story and have made Mr Shah Rukh Khan the easy target. As the Chief Digital Strategist of Mr Shah Rukh Khan let me press upon 3 key points. 1. In the beginning of the speech SRK starts with âLet me forewarn you, this is a recycled speech. Whenever I am called to give speeches at ypo or some such big organisationâ¦I use this speech. Its genericâ¦simpleâ¦and makes me give no commitment in our first meeting. Somewhat like the corporate world itself.â and goes on to give an inspiring speech to a standing ovation which very conveniently people who are writing about SRK not giving credit have forgotten to mention. 2. Famous quotes especially if they are recycled from earler speeches are sometimes not quoted. The recycled speech that SRK mentions includes a speech he gave at the YPO where he clearly gives credit to JK Rowling. CLICK HERE FOR THE YPO SPEECH (A stand up comedian blogger discovered this speech via a fan who was present at the YPO and decided to write his own take on the issue) 3. I reached out to the fan who was present at the YPO and she cited an anecdote, âMr Khan had made a joke about the word âvicissitudesââ¦and said jokingly âItâs J K Rowling, I have problems saying such big wordsâ¦.but did it to impress the smart ones gathered thereâ Which clearly states that there was never any intention to hide a world-famous line from a bunch of smart aware management students to begin with. In addition to the above, as an active independent voice, I am putting forth my personal point of view hoping netizens all around the world wonât act like a herd, spam the social media and give undue importance to the few morons looking for their 15 minutes of fame. For those who are still confused, after SRKâs AIMA speech a 24 year old blogger (not sure why she thinks announcing her age is so important) decided to dissect his speech by taking snapshots of J K Rowlingâs speech and SRKâs accusing him of not giving credit to JK Rowling. To this a Hindustan Times journalist (can we have another title for people like this who love writing in esteemed publications only to sensationalize without content or research) decided to write a column without even having bothered to get hold of any of the speeches. My humble message to the dear 24 year old blogger friend : FOR GOODNESS SAKE, IT IS A HARVARD SPEECH BY JK ROWLING, THE EDUCATED PRETTY MUCH EVERYWHERE ALREADY KNOW OF IT! â¦AND THE SAME EDUCATED PEOPLE ALSO KNOW THAT JK ROWLING ALSO USED THOSE FAMOUS LINES FROM A MANAGEMENT BOOK BY JAMES GALBRAITH. Isnât it fair to say many a times during a speech to keep the flow going people donât quote very famous words? But clearly being sensible is not something that we are dealing with hereâ¦are we? And how many times do people all across the world, including world leaders have quoted famous lines as part of their speeches without giving out their names to keep the flow intact? How about the HT journalist and the blogger get together and do some research on that and post an informed article? As very eloquently someone commented the following towards the 24 year oldâs blog âI donât think he got a standing ovation just for these few lines. How many times in our common use of language do we credit the person ( or people) when we quote some of their more famous quotes. I am not supporting what he did but time and again as people of India, we take more pride in downsizing people rather than applauding their success story. Time we grew up and stop our minds from discussing people. Before you accuse me of stealing, I want to end this with a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt â âGreat minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.â â And so⦠maybe its time we all strive to work towards discussing ideasâ¦!

Did Shah Rukh Khan plagiarise JK Rowling's speech? IBNLive.com | Updated Oct 06, 2013 at 10:52am IST Share Ally Bank® Online Banking Get Great Rates on Online Savings Accounts at Ally Bank®.

Dice.com/Register Ads by Google New Delhi: In his interviews and shows, Shah Rukh Khan comes across as someone who quickly connects with the audience through his words. Recently, the actor was invited to speak at an AIMA (All India management Association) gathering where he talked about the fundamental things that shape the life of a common human being. He talked about failures, success, education and poverty and how these things play a crucial role in our lives. However, this time the actor seems to be taking the support of someone else's words to express his feelings. Shah Rukh's speech at AIMA event won him many new fans but now a blog called 'MeLaNGe', run by Agratha Dinakaran, has come up with the allegation that Shah Rukh's speech is hugely inspired from British author JK Rowling's speech that she made at Harvard in 2008. It was titled 'The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination.' Now, when several people are taking a close look at Shah Rukh's speech, it is surfaced that his speech is 'inspired' from more than one source. It seems Shah Rukh's speech is not just inspired from JK Rowling's speech as several other uncredited sources are surfacing. Advertising professional Mahesh Murthy has pointed out on his Facebook page that Shah Rukh's famous speech is a compilation of quotes from several uncredited sources. There are striking similarities between the speeches made by Shah Rukh Khan and JK Rowling at two different venues at different times. The tone and the texture are similar at more than one level. However, Shah Rukh didn't credit anyone for the words he spoke. At one point in his speech, Shah Rukh Khan says, "Poverty is not an ennobling experience at all. Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. I had seen my parents go through it many times. It means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships." While JK Rowling had said, "I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools." At another juncture in his speech, Shah Rukh Khan said, "Won't bore you with more details of how failure is a good thing because you won't call me back again for a talk on success etc next time but would like to tell you all that life is a not just a check-list of acquisitions, attainments and fulfillment. Your qualifications and CV don't really matter. Jobs don't matter. Instead life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's control and the humility, respecting your failures will help you survive its vicissitudes." While a part of Rowling's speech says, "I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes." It can be said in the defence of actor's speech that somebody else wrote the speech for him but still the ghost-writer was required to give due credit to JK Rowling. If Shah Rukh Khan is making a speech at a public meeting then the onus is on him to be careful about the authenticity and originality of the words coming out of his mouth. If the actor has made the speech without knowing the facts then he should be probing into the matter and should issue a clarification as soon as possible. Copying word by word text from Rowling's speech is a grave violation of intellectual property rights and it's Shah Rukh Khan's responsibility to explain whether it was a conscious decision or not. We found the transcripts of Shah Rukh and Rowling's speeches on internet. We are also embedding the videos of both the events, so that you can see all facets of the dice. Mahesh Murthy writes on his Facebook page, "It's not just JK Rowling he ripped off without attribution. In the same speech, Shah Rukh Khan also ripped off, without attribution, a writer from Slate.com, William H. Cosby, Jr. (Bill Cosby), the founder of Honda, Thomas Henry Huxley, John Wooden and Eddie Rickenbacker . And you may yet find a few more! The JK Rowling plagiarism was originally pointed out by Agratha Dinakaran in her blog http://mercurialpurple.blogspot.in/2013/10/from-jk-to-srk-wo rd-sure-travels.html?m=1 Starting with the assumption that "when there's smoke, there's fire", I looked a little closer. There were at least 6 other cases I found of using uncredited sources - or plagiarism, if you'd like to call it that. It was apparently a speech about failure. Guess what, SRK - you failed big time here! I sourced a transcript of SRK's talk here: http://www.aima.in/media-centre/publications/Shahrukh-Khan-s peech-at-AIMA-NMC.html Here's the umm, source of Bollywood inspiration, in each case: 1. From SRK's talk: Take Warren Buffet. Here's a guy who must get asked five times a day how he became the most successful investor of his era. His answers - 'Reinvest your profits,' 'Limit what you borrow,' etc.-are no different from what any fool could tell you. Buffet isn't being cagey. He simply doesn't know. Success is a wonderful thing, but it tends not to be the sort of experience that we learn from. We enjoy it; perhaps we even deserve it. But we don't acquire wisdom from it. 1a.
