“My Pronoun is People
(Inclusivity Sonnet, 1266)

My pronoun is people,
I'm divergent, yet invincible.
I am straight, I am queer;
I am civilian, I am seer.
Spirit of life, I - am universal!

Call me disabled or differently able,
Call me collective or individual.
Fleshly forms I've got plenty,
All run by same love and liberty -
Culture supreme is inclusion.

Each heart is a shelter for another,
Each life is sanctuary for another.
Blasting all traditions of divide
into cinders with knowledge-dynamite,
we shall emerge as each other's keeper.

You ask, what am I - I say, I am human,
Better yet, I'm human's idea of a human.
I am but the human absolute -
morally unbending 'n divinely cute -
ever evolving testament to expansion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Yaralardan Yangın Doğar: Explorers of Night are Emperors of Dawn

“The paradox of wokeism is that, in its quest for inclusivity, it often becomes exclusionary, shutting down conversations deemed uncomfortable or offensive. This narrowing of acceptable discourse harms the essence of free speech, as it places arbitrary boundaries on what can be said or joked about. Comedy, in particular, serves as a barometer for societal norms and challenges our preconceptions. Suppressing comedic expression not only hampers artistic freedom but also stifles the very laughter that can bridge divides and foster understanding.”
― James William Steven Parker

“Tears speak the same tongue
wherever they are shed.
Smiles speak the same tongue

why should mind be separate from mind!”

“What is Naskar (The Sonnet)

Naskar is a culture unto themselves,
Naskar is a nation unto themselves.
Naskar is a planet unto themselves,
Naskar is a paradigm unto themselves.

Naskar culture is integration,
Naskar nation is world nation.
Naskar planet is borderless,
Naskar paradigm is undivision.

Naskar is not a he or she,
Naskar is the whole of humanity.
Naskar is neither east nor west,
Naskarosphere is conscious unity.

Naskar is just a lesser synonym,
The original name is Human Being.”
