7th Rangers: Qatar, which had given citizenship to MF Hussain after painting nude Hindu Goddesses, gets upset at alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad in India
Fighting Seventh
The Fighting Rangers On War, Politics and Burning Issues
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."
Qatar, which had given citizenship to MF Hussain after painting nude Hindu Goddesses, gets upset at alleged blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad in India

Qatar is among the hardest places in the world to become a citizen with
even people living there for decades not eligible for citizenship but
the rules were relaxed for Hussain.
On 5th June 2022, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar summoned
the Indian ambassador to Qatar to officially condemn the comments by
BJP spokespersons on Prophet Muhammad. The statement added that the
Qatar government welcomes the statement issued by BJP distancing itself
from the comments and suspending the leaders who had made comments on
the Prophet.
However, this stand of the Qatar government against blasphemy has
reminded netizens of Qatar granting citizenship to India’s controversial
painter MF Hussain after he painted nude paintings of Hindu Goddesses.
Reminding people of Qatar’s double standards, comedian Nitin Gupta tweeted, “MF Hussain made nude paintings of Hindu Goddesses. Qatar
granted him citizenship. Nupur Sharma quoted facts about Muhammad from
Hadith. Vishwagurus bent over backward to appease Qatar!”
