MINORITY STATUS FOR JAINS
After years of unstinted efforts by all the sects of Jain community, the minority status would soon be obtained by the Jain community in the country. The Central Cabinet has given its acceptance to the proposal in this regards. Accordingly, Jain Samaj would soon be included in the list of minority communities, which have been described in the Constitution of India. The Bill will now be placed in the Parliament for amendment in the section 103 of the Constitution. Once the bill is passed, the much-desired status will be achieved.
