> We all know and love #PascalsTriangle and the #FibonacciSequence. But who knows #meruprasthara and the Pingala sequence?.. America invented #ModernDemocracy!..

Citing our sources is an echochamber, a way to further empower voices that are already empowered, whether they did the work and contributed the value or not.
