Re: Sikh families leave Orakzai after Taliban demand Jizia
Define poor. Poor economically is very different in the US and Pakistan. Or between India and China.
I am talking about poor with respect to the living standard/ per capita income/purchasing power parity of that country where the person is residing/is citizen!!
In this case, even by Pakistan's Swat valley/Tribal standards 50 million rupees is too much to ask from a local impoverished group of 15 families!
Do you agree with this without indulging in further semantics??

Now why are you comparing the taliban to a functioning government?

It's you who started this comparison First, by bringing some unsubstantiated example of Europe and telling that look, even they charge Tax!
No one in his right mind will ever compare Talibs with a functioning government! They put even Maoists to shame!
