recently made headlines—but not just because she gave a TEDx Talk.

[{"selector":"#anim-c9096d8d-0957-4ad8-8c01-ab598ab246d7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c8263c2-83f8-4067-8605-0aecd2c7f5a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5651ddbe-2c2f-47b2-834f-c8ef73af83f3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(112.30768%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Urvashi appears to have lifted whole chunks of her speech directly from the work

[{"selector":"#anim-b8cdd977-da5e-4d56-ab84-c713acb711f2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Urvashi has been caught stealing tweets before

[{"selector":"#anim-63032543-b296-400a-b470-30375d919736 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-33.59374990044751%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c0b7b10e-337d-427a-bcc8-f269cf091612","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87871076-f027-4b73-bec3-273602060898","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.02564%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

so this isn't the first time she's been accused of plagiarising someone else's work.

[{"selector":"#anim-a5d687b1-1adc-483f-9439-1ce9787a9092 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.90624987200394%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e70347da-28e7-4a3b-85ce-b1c28e2079e7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-653f4e34-3ceb-4fb4-814f-1de612f1a38e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.76922%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Urvashi's TEDx video was released earlier this month

[{"selector":"#anim-497d0e76-0bf4-4ae0-b7f1-dee3fe2c197e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-448d27c9-dda5-4235-b395-77e93343887c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36c3e50a-a234-4fdc-aec4-712ea29881c7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.40880%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

astute Redditors quickly deduced that she plagiarised heavily from other TED talks
