- Alex Cupper cited a journal article, supposedly published in the Indian Research Journal of History and Humanities and Social Sciences (IRJHHSS). No such journal exists. The link leads to an Academia.edu page and a Zenodo page, which lists four articles attributed to "Rajesh Barange Pawar" (RajeshPawar92), supposedly published in the non-existent IRJHHSS and "The Journal of Indian History (TJIH)". All the articles glorify the Pawar/Powar caste, the main focus of Pranay Chopde and socks. One of the articles lists "Pranay Chopde" as a co-author.
- Update on 2024-04-30: Both zenodo and academia.edu have removed these papers as fraudulent, but here is the archive.org version.
- Similar edits to the article Bhoyari (e.g. adding Pawari as the primary name, adding Kshatriya claim for the caste etc.)
- Adding the claim about "Bhoyar Pawar" being related to the Paramara dynasty / 52 clans:
- Whitewashing peasant/pastoral origin in the article Rajput clans:
- Unsourced addition to Malwa about Bhoyari being spoken in Betul, Chhindwara, Wardha
- Removal of Marwadi, Malwi etc. and addition of Bagheli, Bundeli etc. to Powari language
