About The Book- The history of Jainism in South India and its influence on the life and thought of the people is a fascinating subject. As the authors themselves point out, all the materials for a final verdict are not yet available and the conclusions reached can only be tentative and provisional. This book contains information about Jainism and the history of Jain religion. It tells about Nations rise and fall; kings conquer and pass away in the dust; the forms of political life and social effort have their day and cease to be; religious systems and strange rituals move for a brief hour their adherents but in this vast process of Becoming, there are elements of permanent value, which remain our inheritance and the inheritance of our children for evermore. In the following pages an attempt is made to trace the history of a people, sincere and great in their day and to estimate, in however tentative and fragmentary a fashion, the value of their contribution to the rich and fruitful stream of South Indian Culture.
