“When Whiteness Collapses (Sonnet)
When the whites benefit from privilege,
it's part and parcel of colonial heritage,
but when a giant rises from the marginals,
it eclipses the shallow heights of whiteness.
I'm colored, I'm scientist,
I'm poet, I'm polyglot -
coming from zero money,
I won the world with words.
Try and get your puny white brains
around this existence enigma -
compile your white canons of a century,
and they turn bleak next to just one year
of multicultural, multidisciplinary Naskar.
I never grovelled to be included,
I let my vastness out,
and the world queues for my grace.”
― Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“A trip to a Central American jungle to watch how Indians behave near a bridge won't make you see either the jungle or the bridge or the Indians if you believe that the civilization you were born into is the only one that counts. Go and look around with the idea that everything you learned in school and college is wrong.”
