DHIYO YO NAHA PRACHODAYAT

You can look for Intellectual Property Rights of India here http://www.indianembassy.org/policy/ipr/ipr_2000.htm
You can also discuss it with relevant authorities.
The plagiarist will surely be punished, as plagiarizm is nothing but theivery of property.
But the thing is, was the post in your blog original?
Or you also gathered various allready existing perceptions about gayatri mantra?
Originality is the Property, not gathered allready plagiarized versions.
@diva: if you don't think you did anything wrong by copying without reference or attribution, then I am not going to try and convince you otherwise. we are all learning about this new medium called the web. good luck with your site. may the power of gayatri bless you always....
