What’s the deal with Abhijit Naskar? Naskar responds
Bigots have a name for me – Abhishit Nutscar. Which is actually quite flattering to me, because in sanskrit “abhi” means fearless. So all I hear is, “wounded nutter with some fearless shit”. Love you, kids! Get well, soon!
“Melanin Maniacs (The Sonnet)
White guy writes a couple of sonnets and plays,
And he is idolized as an olympian deity.
Colored guy smashes the paradigm to ashes,
And it warrants absolute unacceptability.
Apparently, greatness is only greatness,
If it can be credited to a caucasian.
Otherwise they only end up pondering,
What’s the deal with this non-white person!
It’s a sad, sad world we live in,
All the advancement is on the outside.
Inside we are dumber than Donald Duck,
Which has ruined all hope for real insight.
Enough of this obsession with white aphrodisiacs!
It’s time to act as humans, and not melanin maniacs.”

Never confuse culture with state | Abhijit Naskar | Bulletproof Backbone
Never confuse culture with state. Some of the richest cultures of the world often end up with some of the most regressive states in the world – Türkiye, Azerbaijan, India, Italy to name a few, in the context of 2023.
So I repeat, never let your disapproval of a government make you bitter towards a culture. Government never reflects culture – if it did, I would not have penned a single Turkish word in my works – as opposed to the fact that, the Turkish culture is an intrinsic element of Naskarean literature.
Also, while we are on the subject of my writing, I shall address a minor issue, which I’ve been overlooking for a while now.
Across the globe I am often referred to as “the Indian neuroscientist” or “the Indian Author”, despite the fact that my work is practically nonexistent in India, statistically speaking. Considering that, 90% of my book sales come from US, UK and Canada, the rest 10% from Europe, Mexico, South America and Australia, and zero from India – for transparency and context purposes I’ll tell to you one more time – Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Scientist – Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Poet – Abhijit Naskar is an Earth Philosopher.
However, it’s never about the sales, it’s about the love. I only mention the demographics to put things in perspective. For example, there are many countries where people cannot afford to buy my books, since they are expensively exported from US and Europe, and yet, I receive far more love from these countries than the land I was born in. Philippines and Pakistan to name a few. As a matter of fact, hate wise speaking, Philippines is the only country so far, where I have not faced any hate and bigotry – which only goes to prove that, state of a currency does not reflect the broadness of heart. That’s why, a substantial portion of my work is available freely on the internet.
The point is – I am no more Indian, than I am a Yank or Canadian or Mexican or Turk or Swede or Pinoy or British or Brazilian or Egyptian or Aussie. Passport is just a glorified bus pass – nothing more. So, I repeat – I am an Earth Scientist – remember that. Nationalization of Naskar is desecration of Naskar.
