Plagiarism allegation

[edit]

Ravisankar S. Nair, an author and Faculty of the Central University of Kerala, alleged in an article written in the November- December (2018) issue of Sahitya Vimarsham, that around 80 percent of the content of one of the chapters in Ilayidom's book titled Anubhoothikalude Charithra Jeevitham was not properly quoted and hence is a copy from Bharathanatyam: A Reader (2012, ed. Davesh Soneji). The allegations were however opposed by a team of 16 scholars who issued a letter in support of Elayidom.[25][26]
