Thus speaks the humanitarian scientist. “Not every christian is a good human, But every good human is a christian. Not every muslim is a good human, But every good human is a muslim. Not every jew is a good human, But every good human is a jew. Not every hindu is a good human, But every good human is a hindu. Not every buddhist is a good human, But every good human is a buddhist. Not every humanist is a good human, But every good human is a humanist. Goodness is universal, vessels may vary. Some call it water, some agua, some pani."

"When culture is code for division, You gotta be uncultured to find assimilation. When hagiographies are passed on as heritage, To be heretic is the first course of action. Instead of being chained to the dead, Let us be each other's roots. Be a garland that celebrates life, Instead of a hangman's noose." Humanist to many, Sufi to some, Humanitarian Scientist to most, Abhijit Naskar has become synonymous with humankind's struggle for peace and harmony. And here the Himalayan Sonneteer offers us an intolerance-defying poetic treasure-trove of integration, inclusion and unification.

Insan Himalayanoğlu is a himalayan triumph of reform over rigidity. Thus speaks Himalayanoğlu: “All the world's an asylum, All the people are lunatics. Some are but loonies of love, Some loonies run by prejudice. Some die running in love of currency, Some die sharing the currency of love. Beyond the grasp of dollar and euro, Love is the only nonvolatile currency in the world. It's good to be a loonie, If the reason is justly humane. When human welfare is at stake, It's only logical to be insane. Sane, insane - be as the need arises, To hell with the judgment of nitwits! In an organic world no sanity is absolute, Boldly walk the spectrum as the purpose fits.”

World War Human is one of Naskar's most radical works of peace. “The real first world war has just begun - the war between good and evil - the war between emancipation and occupation - between inclusion and exclusion - between expansion and contraction - between reason and rigidity - between humanity and inhumanity. I call it, World War Human.”

Visvavictor is a poetic victory of love and trust over all hate and fear in the world (visva). The humanitarian scientist speaks: "Where the end of fear ends all barrier, Where biases no longer run amok, Where end of assumption sets forth ascension, Where heritage no more wreaks havoc, Where the head is without bent, and the heart is never skint, Where the spine is without dent, and the eyes are without squint, Where Christian, Muslim, Sikh 'n Jew, sit and share a cup of stew, Where Buddhist, Atheist, Jain, Hindu, live and laugh as one life crew, There beyond, where sentience lets no storm to brew, Out of the fossil, into the fervor, I shall meet you."

Rowdy Scientist puts the human in scientist, and humanity in science. “Rowdy Scientist Sonnet Science is neither boastful nor bashful, Science stands dutybound, forever mindful. Science gives the final answer as a ray of hope, With all avenues exhausted to the last granule. Science is neither defensive nor offensive, Science can't afford such primitive prerogative. Transcending binary norms science acts whole, Defying the comfort of all corrosive narrative. Science is slave to none, science enslaves none, Science blooms from reason, endorsing curiosity. But don't ever confuse curiosity with cynicism, Curiosity brings understanding, cynicism apathy. Average scientists seek answers, Great scientist seeks questions. Submissive scientists chase solutions, I'm a Rowdy Scientist, give me problems!”

Thus speaks Naskar: “You can train a mind to think, but you can't train a heart to love. Either you love or you don't, there's no training. Either you love or you don't, there's no thinking. Nobody thinks twice before hating, then why should you think twice before loving! Until love becomes instinctive as hate, nothing will change.”
