Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“Colonials Go Home! (Forest Fascist Reserve, Sonnet) Colonials go home, not to England or Europe, but straight to the jungle! Only place wild animals are beautiful, is in the dog-eat-dog spaces of the wild. Don't worry, once in a while we'll visit, like we visit any of your fellow animals. If anything, visiting you will inspire us further, to never deviate from integration. Nevertheless, there is still another way, you don't need to be deported back to the jungle. If there is even a smidgen of humanity in you, now is the time to bring it out, and get help. Otherwise, we can easily trace your family tree, back to the time your family lived in it. Once we do, all nine billion of us will chip in, and hire a couple of cargo planes to deport all you bigots to a forest fascist reserve.”

“That Day I'll Call You Human (Sonnet) I shall call you all human, the day you bring down all borders, like you brought down the Berlin wall. I shall call you all human, the day you abolish all military, like you abolished the SS. I shall call you all human, the day you eradicate fundamentalism, like you eradicated polio. I shall call you all human, the day you ban the oligarchs, like you tackled corona. If you can't be a tsunami, be a flash flood - if you can't be a flash flood, be a garden hose, and wash away the inhumanities around you.”

“Time for Pestcontrol (Naskaristana 2624) It's a sad state of affairs when the geopolitical jungle of our world makes me wish as a biologist, that politics were a genetic characteristic, then we could engineer a virus to wipe out every single politician from the face of earth - and the beauty of it is that, you won't even notice their absence, because every democratic nation has a capable body of civil servants, though partially lazy and corrupt, who would keep the wheel of democracy turning, with the guidance of scholars and scientists, like it's just another Tuesday, because these people are the real engine of democracy. Let's call it "Operation Pestcontrol". But alas, politics is not a genetic trait, and killing the fascist doesn't end fascism, only delays it, so we'd have to take the only other, more tedious but actually lasting alternative, which is, no more compromise with fascism - either be the human citizen of planet earth and confront the authoritarian elements of your part of the world, or do not call yourself human!”

“Naskar vs States of Earth (Sonnet 2635) On planet earth everyone is citizen, regimes that deny rights require psychiatric treatment. Politicians that run concentration camps deserve more holes than they got, yet don't, just put Uncle in a home. Flags that sell hate deserve to be burnt, yet don't burn them, just leave them behind. Badges that strike fear among the innocents deserve to be slaughtered, yet don't slaughter, just cripple them with vigil disobedience. I'm the Original Virtue that predates vermin vaticans, I'm the First Piety that predates all promised estate. I'm the Sacred Science that defangs all poison saffron, I'm the Ink of Mind that outdates doctrinal malignance. I'm the Original Swastika that predates all reichs, I'm the Sunrise that outlives puny stars and stripes. I'm Justice, I'm Dervish, I'm phenyl to the fascist - my footsteps are the law, I'm pesticide to prejudice. Crowns belong beneath my sneakers, white or not. When ICE comes, I stand here with a blowtorch.”

“If I Wrote God (Sonnet) If I wrote God, they'd would be kind and gentle, not vengeful and jealous. Freedom of choice would be first commandment, preventing wrongs they'd stand righteous. They'd refuse to entertain suffering, their grand design would epitomize equality. Sure, their world would still have problems, but it would be spared from ungodly atrocity. Law of Nature is its lack of meaning, as well as its lack of morality. We needed an image to bear the blame, and be the imaginary steward of our destiny. True godliness lies in behavior, not belief. Hand of God unfolds when human takes the steed.”

“Art is the newly sprung river that keeps flowing at its own pace, based on its own unconditional knacks, passion, and its nature. Nature itself is art, and as such, art can be found in everything that belongs to nature. And in the world we live, there is nothing that doesn't belong to nature, for everything is nature, hence, everything is art. Even science is art, when it flows pure and free - literature is art, when it flows pure and free - mathematics is art, when it flows pure and free. Any act of the mind that flows pure and free, is art, for freedom is the soul of art.”

“Reincarnation is an ancient myth, nothing more - it is the fairytale of the adults. And as long as it alleviates people's anxiety, it is an acceptable myth, but the moment it becomes an impediment to life, it turns deadly for the individual as well as the society.”

“People love to say, nobody is above the law, which is one of the most dangerous delusions of the social psyche. It is a lie fed to the meek citizens of a nation to keep them obedient to the state, even in the face of corruption. Every human is above the law, until the law that governs the society is made incorruptible. So long as we have a law that is exploitable by individuals in power, it is imperative that every thinking human stands up to such law, even if it means going against the state, because like the law of today, state itself is not incorruptible.”
