Modi, Hinduism, Islam, and God and jains
by Rashmikant Shah on Dec 24, 2007 11:18 AM

I see a great confusion in the mind of many people about god and Jainism. Jainism as it stands to day is approximately 50000 year old religion. Concept of the God, Bhagwan, and other deities came in about 10000 years ago when Aryans tried to consolidate India under their ideology. God of Torah - Jews, christian, and Islam came in existance about 5000 years ago. Branding Jains as Atheist, Agnostic, or Godless is unfair and shows complete lack of understanding development of religious idea in the society. Mr. Karunanidhi, follows this line of line of one of Jain Trinthakar - Social improver like Mahatma Gandhi.He has nothing to do with rama because Rama is a part of jain cycle of Trinthankar next time. Therefore, people write a lot of non-sense here wiothout understanding true and whole aspect of the religion here.
