Famous Abhijit Naskar Quotes

“it is high time we stop using the term “theory” while mentioning Evolution. The term “theory” somehow makes some people think of Evolution as an unproven “hypothesis”. Theory of Evolution is an incontrovertible fact of science. It is not a fictitious story like Creationism. It’s a hard reality. It is the bed-rock of Biology. Defying evolution means defying one’s own existence as a human being.”

“I have a little urge to all the rational thinkers in the world, both scientists and non-scientists. Because of the fact that many of the scientists and science communicators still use the phrase “Theory of Evolution”, the general population still quite mistakenly hail Evolution as some sort of unproven hypothesis. So, we need to change that. The only way to do that, is stop using the word “Theory” along with “Evolution”. It’s been long since we have proven Evolution to be not just a hypothesis, but an empirical truth. Since the publication of Charles Darwin’s “Origin of Species: By Means of Natural Selection” piles of evidence from various fields of biology have emerged through the painstaking efforts of scientists, and have taken Evolution from the domain of falsifiable hypotheses into the domain of scientific facts. So, evolution is not a matter of belief or opinion, it is an irrefutable fact of this natural world.”

“Just because some idiots can't comprehend any gender other than man and woman, doesn't mean the transgender people don’t exist, just like, just because some idiots can't comprehend ideas of progress, except in terms of left and right, doesn’t mean the world doesn’t exist beyond red and blue.”

“Ain't Your Nigger (Sonnet to The Whites) Yes I am colored, But I ain't your nigger. I am your way to oneness, I am the humanitarian trigger. I am the trigger for revolution, Whenever there is oppression. I am the trigger for reason, Whenever there is dogmatization. I am the trigger for ascension, Whenever there is assumption. I am the trigger for assimilation, Whenever there is discrimination. On our shackled shoulders America was built. Yet how come we are still hated to the hilt!”

“Tapwater and Natural Spring (The Sonnet) I am sorry if big bard becomes bleak, In front of the vast spirit of oneness. I am sorry if baron byron turns barren, In front of the sense of collectiveness. With their native tongue given at birth, The fancy figures did what they could. It ain't their fault that it takes an outsider, To bring out a tongue's rightful good. Some figures are tapwater, While others are natural spring. Some are just good writers, While others are Maya, Martí and King. Anybody can write mushy words, that's no biggie. Genius is one who lives as they speak, with integrity.”

“World Administrative Service (The Sonnet) Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers, Don't stop till you reach your goal! Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers, Don't stop till your dreams are whole! Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers, Don't stop till there is no injustice. Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers, Don't stop till the world is in peace. Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers, Do not stop till love is the only way. Awake, Arise, Oh Saint Soldiers, Don't stop till all prejudice is thrown away. Civilization is born when all our sentience converge. Puny minds make puny-verse, uni-minds make universe.”

“I have no control over my words, including the titles. Every time a title appears in my mind it sends a chill down my spine. The entire body shakes up in momentary tremor followed by the rush of an immense tranquility. And that's it! Right or not, that is the title. The same happens whenever I come up with a radical statement. Just like Ramanujan used to have visions of numbers, I have visions of words, that too, in the most socially relevant manner possible.”

“Neuroscience of Ideology (The Sonnet) No matter the intention of origin, No ideology can stand uncorrupt through time. Even the perfect of theories fall apart, because, The brain can't pledge obedience without being blind. To maintain the grandeur of an ideology, The mind chooses to switch off certain faculties. Thus the mind starts digging its own grave, As well as for the world, without even knowing it. Ideology relevant today won't be relevant tomorrow, But the ideology itself isn't aware of this. Thus in the guise of savior it keeps raising sheep, Who then turn defensive and ruin all possibility of peace. Borders don't preserve peace, borders only breed war. All peace is fiction till we treat every border as Donald Trump's wall.”

“Into The Eyes of Racism (A Sonnet) I looked into the eyes of racism, All I found was insecurity. I looked into the eyes of prejudice, All I found was pretend sanity. I looked into the eyes of bigotry, All I found was savage inanity. I looked into the eyes of hate, All I found was delusion of purity. I looked into the eyes of disparity, All I found was mindless conformity. I looked into the eyes of apathy, All I found was spineless vanity. I looked a lot and observed plenty, It's time to burn bright against brutality.”

“Yeni Zaman, Yeni Paşa (Kalpkomutan Şiir) Bana soruyor ki - kadere güveniyor musun? Neden güvenmeyeyim - tabii ki güveniyorum. Her an, her dakika, kaderin sonucudur, Ve dünyanın kaderini ben yazıyorum. Zafer yok, zeka yok, yine de umurumda değil; Hiç kötü kader amacımı bozamaz benim. Korku ve köktencilik kavgalarının ötesinde, İnatçı bir aşk umudu, desteğimdir benim. Ben kimim - neyim - biliyor musun? Acılar denizinde ilacın ışığıyım ben. Nefretin ortasında niyetin kıvılcımıyım, Hayvanlığın ortasında insanlığın cevabı ben. Kalbim benim dünyanın ilahi bir köprüsüdür; Her hayat, her hikmet, kalbimde yaşıyor. Hayatım benim dünyaya verilen bir hediyedir; Her dil, din ve kültür, kalbimde birleşiyor.”
