TIME FOR TERRORISM TAX
by Vivek Harry on Jun 28, 2008 03:27 PM

We should impose a terrorism tax on the Kashmiri people, the proceeds from which will be used solely for compensation for dead security personnel. Those persons who are involved in separatist activities and indulge in riots for frivolous reasons should come under the ambit of this tax or call it fine. It should be in different slabs from 25% to 70% of income. This will act as a disincentive for these people to take part in such meaningless violence. Inability to pay this tax or fine should lead to seizure of partial or whole property and it should be used to settle people from mainland India in this territory, especially relatives of servicemen. We should also impose heavy taxes on trade and agricultural products coming from kashmir. Only those people who are loyal to India should be spared. This will promote nationalism amongst Kashmiris.
