“The human heart is too grand to be wasted in the gutter of cultural exclusivity.”
Abhijit Naskar, Making Britain Civilized: How to Gain Readmission to The Human Race

Abhijit Naskar
“The Naskar Controversy (Sonnet 2525)

Yes, Naskar is a controversial figure,
not because I sell antivaxx nonsense,
not because I sell eugenics nonsense,
not because I sell patriotic garbage,
not because I sell newage garbage, in fact,
these are the very germs my life disinfects -

I am controversial because my backbone
doesn't seek validation from no institution,
either faith based or intellectual -

I am controversial because the planet of apes
cannot quite figure out the sectarian membership
of my post-discipline, post-dogma, post-cultural,
post-national, post-fanatic, post-algorithmic mind -
and anything that apes cannot understand, apes mistrust,
not just apes of ritual, but also apes of intellect.

I am controversial because I ask for tolerance,
I am controversial because I'm integration incarnate,
I am controversial because I call for humanity,
at the expense of both faith and facts.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
