I find it carnivalesque that you are trying so hard to defend Jizya. And I have no idea how Shiv Sena is even remotely associated with this matter. By defending everything that happens in your country, you can't prove yourself as patriotic.
You'd be surprised, but I'm one of the most unpatriotic Pakistanis you can find.
I don't defend anything without a reason. Nationalism is not one of them.
And you seriously need to improve your knowledge of history. Aurangzeb revived this method in India, which was stopped by one of his predecessors. It included all the conditions that I mentioned above. This was one of the reasons why Rajputs & Marathas united against him, because Jizya was too harsh to be bearable.
I don't subscribe to the Indian version of the Moghal Empire taught in India. I prefer more neutral sources.
History apart, why would you want to defend source of income of Taliban? You sounded like a 2 year old whn you asserted that it will go to tribal leaders. Taliban is demanding this. Do you mean to say Taliban will only collect it & hand it over to tribal leaders like a good boy?
The Pakistani Taliban are the tribes. The tribes cannot be overrun by any Taliban. They are not Afghanis. The money goes to the Tribal leaders therefore, since they are controlling the territory and enforcing the law. That is how it works in FATA. You don't understand the nature of what's going on.
