“What a hundred caring, courageous and conscientious women can achieve in ten years, would take a thousand men a hundred years.” One of twenty-first century’s most influential thinkers Abhijit Naskar makes an exuberant attempt with his sharp insight of the molecular realm of the mind, to unite all of humanity with the thread of humane oneness, beyond the primeval evil of gender discrimination. This is a treatise of humanism, in the line of his two other works “Principia Humanitas” and “We Are All Black”, that reinforces the vision of gender mutuality in the psyche of thinking humanity. “The Bengal Tigress” is an empowering wake up call to all the women in the world and an eye-opener for all the men. Here Naskar enables us to delve deep into the neural realm of the female mind as well as the male, to recognize their distinct mental faculties. He reveals to us in his unique philosophical manner, how the women can take the human society forward towards a genuine harmonious future. The Bengal Tigress also warns us about the imminent harms of the term “Feminism” and makes “Humanism” triumph over all prejudices. We emerge from this spell-binding odyssey of science and philosophy with one sole conviction, that we are human first, then everything else.
