Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
‘News channel owner forced me to convert to Islam, abused and threatened’: Woman journalist alleges police inaction
Thursday, January 27, 2022
"MD of the channel, Shan Chaudhary, used to pressure me to convert to
Islam. It made me feel nauseated. He used to say, 'you look like a
Muslim girl. If you convert to Islam, I will increase your salary from
Rs 25,000 to Rs one lakh", the woman has stated.
On January 26, a video of a female journalist went viral on social
media in which she alleged her previous employer forced her to convert
to Islam.
She further alleged even after two months of filing FIR, the
Police has not taken any action. In the video, the woman said she used
to work for an online YouTube-based news channel, News Action Network,
that has an office in Preet Vihar, Delhi.
The Managing Director (MD) of the channel, Shan Chaudhary, used to
pressure her to convert to Islam. He allegedly tried to lure her into
converting on the pretext of increasing her salary, as per the woman’s
complaint.
In the video statement, she said, “I am a journalist by profession. I
was working with News Action Network, which is an online YouTube
channel. MD of the channel, Shan Chaudhary, used to pressure me to
convert to Islam. It made me feel nauseated. He used to say, ‘you look
like a Muslim girl. If you convert to Islam, I will increase your salary
from Rs 25,000 to Rs one lakh.’
She further added she resigned from the job, but the company held her
salary for 45 days. On the 47th day, she was called to the office. The
woman said, “When I reached there, I was called in Shan Chaudhary’s
office where Ria Gupta, Roshni, and Mishra were already present. Shan
abused me and used derogatory language. He even threatened to kill me.
After that, I somehow managed to leave the office with the help of my
associates and reach Preet Vihar Police Station. I tried to file an FIR
at Preet Vihar Police station, but ASI Sohangir refused to file my FIR.”
