“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.”

“Ethnicity is liquor of the apes (Naskaristana 2522)

Every nonwhite person speaks two or more languages,
every nonwhite person juggles two or more cultures,
every nonwhite person comes from a soil
seeped in philosophy and poetry -

now tell me, how exactly are the whites superior!

Here I'm not establishing the nonwhites
as superior, all I'm pointing out is this -

in sciences white people are not the pioneers,
in philosophy white people are not the pioneers,
in art and astrophysics whiteys are not the pioneers,
in medicine and mathematics whiteys are not the pioneers,

then how on earth did you come by this
insane inkling that white people are the super race,
how many bottles did you have, or did you
bang your head against the rocks while making fire!

Fact of the matter is, dumbness doesn't have ethnicity,
but fanaticism of ethnicity only establishes
that ethnicity as the dumbest bunch of apes on earth,
whether it's neonazis, zionists, islamists or sanatanuts.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

“When the Human walks, the soil revives,
forgotten streets all come to life -

“The Humanity Festival
(Interfaith Anthem, 2598-2599)

Humanity is the festival,
occasions are garments.
Beyond the void of us and them,
join the circle, break the chains.

Festivals are not dates on a calendar,
cultures are not places on a map.
No festival is sin for no one,
there is no culture where we do not belong.

Ramadan is the remedy for apathy,
Christmas is the cure for animosity,
Hanukkah is the antithesis of tyranny,
Diwali is the antidote to atrocity.

Mercy is no mercy that's reserved for a few,
mercy is the light we carry in all we do.
The spirit of godliness that we hold inside,
is meant to light the world, far and wide.

Fasting and feasting turn to futile noise,
if life drifts from life, trampling human joys.
Candles and fireworks become childish pranks,
if underneath them all the kernel is blank.

Kindness in our soul, courage in our skin -
every person is my people, every stranger is kin.
Humanity is the festival, occasions are garments,
love is my homeland, heart is my parliament.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

Abhijit Naskar
“You haven't even started living a multicultural life, like a proper human being, and you're obsessing with the multiverse!”
