This is an important petition for Jain community. Please support this.

Jain is an independent religion. Population of the community in India is less than 2 percent of total population. Indian constitution allows minority status for a religious community with less than 20% population. Several states likes of UP, MP, Bihar, Jharkhand and recently Punjab have declared religious minority status for Jain.

Sri Ashok Gehlot, Chief minister of Rajasthan himself told in a public meeting that he desires to provide minority status for Jain. However, it is not yet been declared.

Jain is a peaceful community and contributes major share in National GDP. They have lion's share in social and charitable work. The community is demanding minority status to save their social organizations and religious institutions.
