Sin, blasphemy, heresy – all these are primitive ideas created by primitive creatures, unworthy of the title “human”.
— Abhijit NaskarWe no longer have any time to waste, entertaining our dark side. It is time we recognize those evil elements of our internal world and start working untiringly on eradicating them.
— Abhijit NaskarSometimes, humanity surprises me with all its lack of control over the primordial urges.

— Abhijit NaskarI am no feminist. Even though the term 'feminism' is founded upon the basic principle of gender equality, it possesses its own fundamental gender bias, which makes it inclined towards the wellbeing of women, over the wellbeing of the whole society. And if history has shown anything, it is that such fundamental biases in time corrupt even the most glorious ideas and give birth to prejudice, bigotry and differentiation.
