Rudyard Kipling"
āWhen 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 soldierā
General Douglas MacArthur"
āWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā
āIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā āOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
āThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā
āMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā āThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
āNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
āIt 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."
Days after Nagaraju was murdered, here is how The Hindu tried to craftily whitewash the Islamic hate that led to his murder
Monday, May 23, 2022
Billapuram Nagaraju, a 25-year-old Marredpally resident, was stabbed to
death at the Saroornagar Tehsildar's office by his wife's brother.
An endeavour like The Hindu's is also not new, since they have been
engaging in such revisionist activities for a long time. This
demonstrates a deep-seated refusal to accept and confront reality. Such
tactics seek to sell a story, willingly or unwillingly, to provide a
safe road to a specific section to maintain their hate of the other
community in some way or the other.
The Hindu has attempted to whitewash the horrific murder
of Nagaraju by Syed Mobin Ahmed, the brother of Nagarajuās spouse
Ashrin Sulthana, as a ācaste-induced honour killingā just days after he
was killed due to religious and Islamic hatred. Interestingly, this
occurs after the murderās intent and the perpetrators are fully known to
everyone.
The Hindu published a detailed piece
on Nagarajuās murder in Telangana, complete with a detailed sequence of
events, but it gradually attempted to portray the entire case as a
result of ācaste hatredā, as if Nagaraju was killed because he was a
Dalit and not because he was a Kafir who married a Muslim woman, and was
killed by her Islamist brothers. This demonstrates the publicationās
determination to sanitise the deadliest acts of Islamic hatred ever
committed and depict them as something else, tacitly blaming the Hindu
community for religious hate crimes by the Muslim community.
What The Hindu wrote about the Nagaraju murder by Islamists
Billapuram Nagaraju, a 25-year-old Marredpally resident, was stabbed
to death at the Saroornagar Tehsildarās office by his wifeās brother,
Syed Mobin Ahmed. Ashrin Sulthana, the deceased Billapuram Nagarajuās
wife, had revealed that earlier her own family had threatened to murder
her if she married the Hindu man. Before her marriage to Nagaraju,
Ashrin Sulthana, the deceased Billapuram Nagarajuās wife, told News18
that her brother attempted to murder her twice. They escaped to
Hyderabad and married in an Arya Samaj temple.
