Religion and Culture of The Jains

Dr. Jyoti Prasad Jain, M.A., LL.B., Ph.D. (1912-88), vidya-varidhi, Itihasamanisi, was an erudite scholar of Indian history and culture. He was born in Meerut and left this carnal world at Luckbnow. He was a prolific writer both-in English and Hindi. He well deserved the epithet of Itihasa-manisi (Historian par excellence) as he brought into focus the hitherto englected Jaina sources for the reconstruction of history of India. Some of his other popular works are: Religion and Culture of the Jains; Jainism the Oldest Living Religion; Bhagawan Mahavira: Life, Times and Teachings; Bharatiya Itihasa: Eka Drsti; Pramukha Aithasika Jaina Purusa aur Mahilayen; and Jain-Jyoti: Aitihasika Vyaktikosa.
