“My roots run deep down to the core of earth, spread across the bones and marrow of the human race.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot

My roots run deep down to the core of earth,
spread across the bones and marrow of the human race.

Starting out with an insatiable spark of expansion,
I spent my early teens devouring scriptures,
then my late teens and early twenties I spent
assimilating neuroscience and psychology,

but it wasn’t until my late twenties,
a few years after my first publication,
that the original Naskarian voice started
to awaken, a voice not only beyond nation,
religion and culture, but also beyond
eurocentric intellectual convention.

So many things were unfolding in my mind
at once, that it’s impossible for me to
piece together a coherent timeline of events.

But one thing was most striking, it’s that,
influence of the puny eurocentric schools of thought
was beginning to wear off, as cultures of the world
found an ideal vessel with zero chains of tribalism.

I became empty and let the world pour its wonders
into me, so it did, and I burn day in, day out, and
each time from the ashes a new pluralist text is born,
blasting all archaic, elitist and exclusivist narrative.
