Abhijit Naskar
“World needs love that transcends body.
World needs truth that transcends belief.
World needs honor that transcends wealth.
World needs order that transcends police.”
Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets

Abhijit Naskar
“Language and ideology are not the same thing. Sociology is a language, socialism is an ideology - economics is a language, capitalism is an ideology. Language is an act of communication, ideology is an act of miscommunication. Focus on the language, not the ideology. Because no matter how perfect an ideology appears to be, sooner or later all ideology gets corrupt, particularly because ideology thrives on rigidity - whereas all languages evolve with time at a simple, natural, and almost seamless pace, with no reliance on allegiance and popularity.”
Abhijit Naskar, Insan Himalayanoğlu: It's Time to Defect
