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."
Anti-CAA rioters in UP will still pay for the damages, under the new law: Read how misleading headlines are portraying half-truth
Friday, February 18, 2022
CM Yogi, Supreme Court
"The State as clarified is at liberty to proceed in accordance with the law that is the State legislation of 2021," the court directed.
This means the damages which were recovered can be recovered again by the State based on the outcome of the claims tribunals proceedings after issuing fresh notices under the Uttar Pradesh Recovery of Damages to Public Property Act, 2021, the court order stated.
The Supreme Court’s order on Friday directing
the Uttar Pradesh government to refund the money obtained from people
who destroyed public property during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act
(CAA) protests in the state has been reported in the media in a
misleading manner.
The Supreme Court was hearing a plea filed by Parwaiz Arif Titu, who
wanted the orders issued by the district administration to accused
rioters to collect losses made to public property during the anti-CAA
violence quashed. He was represented by Advocate Nilofar Khan who said
the poor were unable to pay the sum attached by the government.
News portals have reported only the first portion of the order,
saying the court has asked the UP government to refund the amount
recovered from the anti-CAA rioters.
The report by India Today mentioned that “The Supreme Court has
directed the Uttar Pradesh government to refund the complete amount
collected after recovery notices that were issued to purported anti-CAA
protestors were withdrawn by the state, following criticism by the top
court.” The other portion of the order, though, was not mentioned.
