“An Immigrant's Plight (The Sonnet)

With hopes and dreams brimming in my heart,
I have traveled across miles and miles.
A single desire for a flame of acceptance,
Still burns bright in my heart's aisle.
You say home is where the heart is,
But my heart is accused of difference.
Sometimes I'm accused of faith or race,
Other times they question my allegiance.
Amidst the illusive fog of color and geography,
When did humanity cease mattering most!
Sentiments and dreams have no borders,
Character isn't exclusive to any single coast.
We’ve wasted enough time on labels and covers,
It's time to be family filling the world with colors.”
― Abhijit Naskar, No Foreigner Only Family

If you can't take the weight of the world on your shoulders, take the weight of your nation - if you can't take the weight of your nation, take the weight of your city - if you can't take the weight of your city, take the weight of your neighborhood. Start small but start somewhere - take responsibility for the issues of your immediate vicinity if not the whole world, and the world will change, slowly but surely.”

“Rasismens ögon (Sonett)

Jag tittade i rasismens ögon,
Allt jag hittade var otrygghet.
Jag tittade i fördomarnas ögon,
Allt jag hittade var falsk verklighet.
Jag tittade i ögonen på bigotteri,
Allt jag hittade var primitiv fjollighet.
Jag tittade i hatets ögon,
Allt jag hittade var illusion av renhet.
Jag tittade i ojämlikhetens ögon,
Allt jag hittade var tanklös lydnad.
Jag tittade i apatiens ögon,
Allt jag hittade var feg högfärd.
Jag såg mycket och observerade mycket,
Det är dags att vara ljuset mot brutalitet.”
― Abhijit Naskar, No Foreigner Only Family
