Rushmores there are plenty, Everest there is but one | Abhijit Naskar | Rowdy Scientist

Flashlights there are plenty,
Sun there is but one.
Rushmores there are plenty,
Everest there is but one.

Rushmore leers as a criminal monument,
While Everest stands as a gentle giant.
Arrogance goes together with brutality,
While valor and virtue go hand in hand.

“If you are not indigenous, you are an immigrant.” Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

On earth we are immigrants from Africa – out in space we’d be immigrants from Earth – in a different galaxy, we’d be immigrants from Milkyway. To put simply, in exploration of space, both external and internal, terms like immigrant and indigenous are meaningless. It’s the heart that makes us indigenous or immigrant, not blood.
