Wait a minute, the news article states the Sikh Community (above articles state around 35 families, other I have read say around 15-25 families) paid 20,000,000 rupees for jizia. That is a lot of money, especially since these Sikhs live in the tribal regions which I suspect is not very well off economically. So where did they get the money from? I mean, 20,000,000 rupees is equal to $301,712.40 dollars Canadian, I don't think 35 families in Canada would able to pay this off.
20,000,000.00 PKR
= 301,712.40 CAD (Canadian Dollars)
= 248,447.20 USD (United States Dollars)
= 190,487.63 EUR (Euro)
= 168,167.65 GBP (United Kingdom Pounds)
