MOTIVATION

Jainism as a religion is a mix of philosophies like Non-

Violence, Truthfulness, Non-Stealing, Non- Absolution,- Non-
Attachment.
The Reason to choose this as my research project is because of
the scope to uncover the roots of the religion, how it emerged
and how it prospered its way through becoming the religion
which has 4-6 million followers in India.
