Regarding editing Dr Pattanaik's page[edit]

Hello, I have tried editing Dr Pattanaik's page with some more information about his work. I have also edited some information that is not a proper description of it. The line in the description "his work is theory based rather than facts" is erroneous.

The fact that he has written on LGBT issues should also be noted: He has written a book called Shikhandi and Other Tales They Don't Tell You ^[1] articles that speak of how queer ideas were part of Hinduism. ^[2]

Epified videos are based on Dr Pattanaik's writings. ^[3]

He is a regular at Literary Festivals: Jaipur Lit Festival, Times Literary Carnival. ^[4]

He was the Keynote Speaker at Shrimati Nandini Satpathy Birth Anniversary where he shared the dias with BJD whip Tathagatha Satpathy and Gajapati Maharaja Divya singh Dev. ^[5] ^[6]

He is a regular columnist in Corporate Dossier, for over 7 years. ^[7]

I tried to be as accurate as I can, since this is the first article I have edited. I am also trying to update the bibliography with his latest work, "Pashu"^[8].
