Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets Quotes

“Martyr's Dilemma (An Existential Sonnet, 1349) Abhijit Naskar are two, not one. Abhijit the person, Naskar the mission. Abhijit has dreams like an ordinary man, While Naskar is the dream of world union. Abhijit put his hopes and dreams away, So that Naskar could engulf the world. Abhijit even got dumped by the girl, Because Naskar couldn't dump the world. The question is, do I regret all this! With all honesty - yes, I do on occasion. All the vastness of Naskar isn't enough, to make up for the things I missed out on. The point is, it's okay to have regrets, You ain't alive till you have regrets. Yet I never abandoned my duty to the world, For my mission is bigger than my regrets.”

“In hollywood white man saves the world, in the real world white man has wrecked the world more times than he could make amends for in a thousand years. So, to get straight to the point - the only way America could be considered a civilized nation, is if we embrace and celebrate our identity as an integrated society - otherwise, everything about America screams savagery. The same holds true for England, as well as France, Spain and Portugal. Every society born of colonial roots, must abandon the garbage geopolitical dream of becoming a superpower, and place all their attention on making amends for the past - at least until prejudice and discrimination are no longer a dominant force in these societies. It's not about feeling guilty, it's about feeling human, and doing everything it takes to correct the mistakes that keep you from becoming human. And for that, it is imperative, you abandon your make believe glories of the past and look at the world with human eyes. Or to put it plainer still - it's not your fault that your ancestors were jerks, but if you fail to right their wrongs as civilized human, then you are just as jerk as them.”

“Run for service, not office. Chase change, not campaign victory. If you can't change the world without office, you definitely can't change it in office. Who am I? I am Abhijit Naskar, EAS - Earth Administrative Servant the First. Who's next - who is thunderful enough, to shoulder the world as living Atlas!”
