Like elsewhere on the web, Game of Thrones is popular even on the question-and-answer portal Quora.
和其他网站一样，《权力的游戏》在问答网站Quora上也很受欢迎。

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:
几年来，该网站的印度用户一直在Quora上讨论这个节目。HBO魔幻史诗剧《权力的游戏》在播出8年后即将完结，让我们来回顾一下Quora上印度人对这部剧的看法:

Indians have repeatedly asked: Why is “Game of Thrones” so popular in India?
印度人反复问：为什么《权力的游戏》在印度这么受欢迎?

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:
一位用户表示，原因在于本土电视节目缺乏优质内容。自2016年7月以来，该回复已被浏览约2000次，回复中写道:

“…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.”
“……《权利的游戏》里女性角色们的人格魅力（要比印度电视剧）强太多了。丹妮莉丝被自己的哥哥卖给一个男人后，她升为王后。艾莉亚看到父亲被砍头，她没有坐下来哀悼，相反，她站了起来，开始为她的家人报仇。珊莎被她的丈夫强奸了，她的丈夫每天都在折磨她，而她带着一支军队回来，把他喂给他的狗。”

“You don’t get to see such inspiring characters in (Indian) daily soaps!”
“你在(印度)日常肥皂剧中看不到这样鼓舞人心的角色!”
