Like elsewhere on the web, Game of Thrones is popular even on the question-and-answer portal Quora.

和其他網站一樣，《權力的遊戲》在問答網站Quora上也很受歡迎。

Indian users of the website have been discussing the show on Quora for several years. So, as HBO’s epic fantasy series nears its end after being on air for eight years, here’s a look back at what Indians wanted to know about the show on Quora:

幾年來，該網站的印度用戶一直在Quora上討論這個節目。HBO魔幻史詩劇《權力的遊戲》在播出8年後即將完結，讓我們來回顧一下Quora上印度人對這部劇的看法:

Indians have repeatedly asked: Why is “Game of Thrones” so popular in India?

印度人反覆問：爲什麼《權力的遊戲》在印度這麼受歡迎?

According to one user, the answer lies in the lack of good content on local TV. The reply from July 2016, which has been viewed around 2,000 times, says:

一位用戶表示，原因在於本土電視節目缺乏優質內容。自2016年7月以來，該回復已被瀏覽約2000次，回覆中寫道:

“…Ladies in GoT are way too inspiring. After being sold to a man by her own brother, Daenerys rises to be a queen. Arya saw her father being beheaded and she doesn’t sit back and mourn. Instead she rose up… and started avenging her family. Sansa was raped by her husband who tormented her everyday and she came back with an army and fed him to his dogs.”

“……《權利的遊戲》裏女性角色們的人格魅力（要比印度電視劇）強太多了。丹妮莉絲被自己的哥哥賣給一個男人後，她升爲王后。艾莉亞看到父親被砍頭，她沒有坐下來哀悼，相反，她站了起來，開始爲她的家人報仇。珊莎被她的丈夫強姦了，她的丈夫每天都在折磨她，而她帶着一支軍隊回來，把他餵給他的狗。”

“You don’t get to see such inspiring characters in (Indian) daily soaps!”

“你在(印度)日常肥皂劇中看不到這樣鼓舞人心的角色!”

What an inspiring news it is! 多麼鼓舞人心的消息啊！

說說《權遊》的女性角色吧。第一次看到龍母坐在龍背上時…你們好，我的雞皮疙瘩！最後把夜王捅成了刨冰的是二丫！三傻在後半截也是火力全開，抹得了小指頭、喂得了狗。儘管她們都不是一言不合就跳舞的類型，仍憑實力在印度火啦火啦滴。
