Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Get Well Soon (The Sonnet) Upon absorbing all cultures into my blood, I realize, the supreme culture is love. Upon studying all scriptures as my own, I realize, the supreme gospel is love. Even after speaking six languages, I say, the supreme language is love. Upon observing all political ideologies, I say, only ideal worth submission is love. Unfolding the neural underpinnings of behavior, I realize, seed of civilization is love. Unraveling the cellular mysteries of life, I realize, existence oughta be a record of love. Tiny-brained know-it-alls will still yell, their culture beats all, like some tipsy loon. To which all I can say is - get well soon!”

“The beauty of discipleship is in the diversity of perspectives and experiences that are brought to the table. It is through these differences that we can learn and grow together.”

“[M]any DEI initiatives, as they function currently, neither serve those they are supposedly intended for, nor do they make any meaningful changes in the structure of the society at large. Instead, the way I see many DEI initiatives working in this country…is by maintaining the status quo in several ways: first, most diverse people I see in different places are tokens and are only allowed any form of power or contributions upon the condition of proving that they are not there to rock the boat or be a threat to the upper powers, who are usually selected privileged whites. Second, there are deliberate and malicious efforts to tokenize diverse people who are not only incompetent, but also complicit to almost make it look like that truly qualified diverse people don’t exist (far from true), as well as to give the majority of white people the impression that they are losing their jobs and privileges to people who are not even qualified or deserving, hence creating further bitterness and divide in the society. In sum, the way the DEI initiatives work is neither benefiting the truly qualified and competent diverse people who could change the structure and the system, nor are they helping white people truly see the value of different perspectives and different ways of thinking, sensing, and doing that enrich this world.

“I have lost track of the number of times when I chatted with DEI professionals or even diversity hires of different races and backgrounds who painfully told me that they are put in a position that makes them incapable of making any meaningful changes in their workplace. That their job is primarily to be tokenized and make the institution look and feel good, but in reality they – and any diverse person in their workplace – feel totally paralyzed in environments that look good, but are in fact extremely controlled by the few privileged at the top. [From “The Trump Age: Critical Questions” published on CounterPunch on June 23, 2023]”

“Our differences are special. They're our gifts to be shared. They shouldn't be shameful or a reason to be scared. Of everything you could be and everything you do, the greatest thing of all, Henri, is simply to be you.”
