Mahaveer was the only Indian saint who attained the truth relying entirely on his own efforts.The path of Tapasya is an extremely arduous one and the chances of failure are extremely high.One has to be a born warrior to to follow Mahaveer.
Today,the Jain community is giving a bad name to the teachings of Mahaveer.Most of them are in money lending,trade,politics,media and industry.In short,they have a stranglehold on the country's finances.Instead of encouraging enterprise and progress,they want to take India backwards to some crazy notion of 'Ram rajya'.The Jain business community believes in dynastic succession and not a merit based enterprise.Their financial system is highly centralized and controlled by a small group of ruthless individuals.Their attitude is ascetic and opposed to music,dance,good cuisine,beauty and women.In short,they are the 'Taliban' Of India.
