Naskar Canon Quotes

“Pilgrimage to Plurality (Sonnet 2499)

Forget the canon, you can't even make sense
of my titles, bleating like nationalist livestock,
and chanting like brainless bacon - you have to
have a certain amount of multicultural tendency,
which in a way, is your first test of pilgrimage,
moreover, it's the key to the Naskar Canon.

If you have no desire to step outside your culture,
there's no point in grabbing any of my text,
you might as well pick up a chinese or arab text,
and expect to be an expert while speaking only English.

My script may be English, my language is not -
remove your assumptions, transcend your disciplines;
it is only through pilgrimage to plurality,
that an ape ascends into humanity.

My goal is not to replace
white supremacy with colored supremacy,
or christian supremacy with muslim supremacy,
or blind faith with dispassionate logic,
I am a stateless weaver of human plurality.”

“Every naskar material that exists outside the books, exists only to redirect you to the canon - the gifs, the voice recordings, the occasional merch and music-like ai audio, everything - don't confuse the window for the world.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“After the first ten or so books, I wrote one called "In Search of Divinity", where the shift happened, the tone of that book was so radically different from my already published more academic-style work, which had already established me as a neuroscientist, that I considered publishing it under a pseudonym, to prevent it from jeopardizing my scholarly standing -

but that work felt like homecoming to my soul, so I chose to continue my legacy in that newly awakened tone, and then on, my reliance on secondhand research declined drastically, except for when I required occasional empirical data.

Had I stayed within the narrow confines of facts and figures, in fear of being shunned by academics, the human race would've never received the vast multicultural, multidisciplinary, multidimensional Naskar Canon.”
