My letter to the Indian Express newspaper:
Respected Editor,
I, the undersigned, am
an award-winning author who has published 28 books and several kinds of
writings in various reputed publications and websites. I have been publishing
my original writings for 36 years, since 1989. My LinkedIn profile may be

Kindly find below this
letter, the text of the Cease and Desist Notice dated 1st February, 2025 sent
by me to the Writer-director duo and 3 Production Houses who have made the
Hindi feature film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya after substantially
plagiarising my Book - The Trophy Wife, first published as a paperback on
3rd June, 2019 and later as an e-book on 29th September, 2019 at Amazon's 13
market-places.
I have also added
another note regarding more similarities as noted by myself and also pointed
out by my book's readers.
Plagiarism is the bane
of any creative writer who publishes her work online.
Depriving her of the
legal rights to her "Fruits of Labor" by denying her due credit and
remuneration as well as royalty, amounts to utmost cruelty and injustice.
I have embarked on
this legal journey to bring the perpetrators to book.
If you wish to support
me in my quest for justice, and want more details; kindly get in touch
immediately.
Here's hoping for an
early response,
With warm
regards,
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Priya Ramesh
Swaminathan
