Abhijit Naskar
“Educating the Educators (Sonnet 2281)

Greeks did not invent philosophy,
philosophy had existed across Latin America, Africa,
Arabia, India and China, thousands of years earlier,

not as some elitist discipline, but as everyday way of life,
later the europeans contributed their puny drop in the ocean,
but of course, the myth of europe as the origin of philosophy
goes deceptively well with the whitewashed history of earth.

Maps of the world are whitewashed,
history of the world is whitewashed,
ethics of the world are whitewashed,
knowledge of the world is whitewashed.

No wisdom is flawless 'n absolute, ancient or modern,
but the point is, enlightenment and civilization
did not originate in europe, they were born of
the lands colonially categorized as uncivilized.”
Abhijit Naskar, Iftar-e Insaniyat: The First Supper
