SHETH JI

I don't want this to be our Future 🙏🏻

I have always known Jainism as a religion of compassion, non violence, humility, and deep respect for all living beings. That is the Jainism I have admired and respected throughout my life. But sadly, compassion is the last thing that I have experienced over the past few days. Today, we are making this appeal not to critics of Jainism, but to genuine Jain followers, respected Jain gurus, and those who sincerely practice the values of Mahavira in their daily lives. At this point, we are not asking for victory, power, or recognition. We are simply asking for compassion. We are asking you to see this situation through our eyes for a moment. Every religion has its own beliefs, traditions, and practices, and we respect that. But what has happened in our society does not feel right. It does not feel like coexistence. It does not feel like mutual respect. It feels like a line has been crossed, quite literally and emotionally. I find it difficult to believe that any true Jain guru, who dedicates their life to compassion and spiritual growth, would ever demand an exclusive white pathway to be painted on someone else’s private property. Such an act seems completely disconnected from the values that Jainism teaches. This is why I strongly feel that a handful of individuals, driven by ego, influence, or religious politics, are misusing faith to push an agenda that many genuine Jain people themselves may not support. The tragedy is that the actions of a few are now damaging the reputation of many good hearted Jains who have nothing to do with this. People who genuinely believe in kindness, restraint, and respect are being unfairly associated with actions that create division instead of harmony. History has repeatedly shown us that conflicts do not begin with major events. They begin when people stop listening to one another. They begin when one group’s feelings are considered more important than another’s. They begin when compassion is replaced by entitlement. Today, the concern is not merely about paint on a road. The concern is about a mindset. If religious markings can be imposed on private property without consent, if residents are expected to silently accept changes made in the name of faith, then naturally people will feel hurt, excluded, and disrespected. The issue stops being about a white strip and starts becoming about territorial assertion. I sincerely request every genuine Jain believer reading this: please do not see this as an attack on your religion. See it as a plea for understanding. We are asking for the very values that Jainism has taught the world for centuries, compassion, empathy, non violence, and respect for others. Because if compassion arrives in time, harmony can still be preserved. But if compassion is absent, then resentment will grow, misunderstandings will deepen, and unnecessary conflicts will follow. None of us want that. The Jainism that I respect is a Jainism that heals wounds, not one that creates them. A Jainism that brings people together, not one that leaves neighbours feeling unheard in their own homes. Today, we simply ask that the true spirit of Jainism speaks louder than the actions of a few individuals who may have forgotten what it stands for.

Fact 😎 Jain women’s are the biggest buyers of branded purses which are made with animal skins like cow, crocodile etc. Jain’s share in national GDP is 26% so nobody can point fingers at their extravagant lifestyle. 😜
