Who do you trust?

My cousin is an ardent Shiv Khera fan. Today, she read an article in Outlook which said that Khera had lifted several paragraphs from another book. Whether it's true or not, her faith in his work is shattered.

Sounds silly, but she worshipped him. She said his books changed her views on life.

I didn't understand her disappointment till I realised it was like me realising that Jane Austen didn't write Pride and Prejudice.

Even if it's a matter of a few paragraphs. For all you know, even other parts of the book could have plagiarised.

You can't trust Bush, you can't trust Khera, you can't trust the media, you can't trust your auditor, so who can you trust?
