Beliefs
The religion and non-violence reaction is a belief because they believe in non-violence. They believe that both realities are internal. They also believe that human being can can and do engage in both which effects not only this life but, the next one as well. They believe in karma which is good and bad actions.
Jains Today
Today there are 6,000,000 Jains world wide, and they represent less than 2% of India's population. Many migrated to East Africa and from there to Britain, where the community is around 30,000. Jainism does not claim any adherents. No Jain can belong to any profession, that takes a life or prophets from slaughter.
Conclusion
A lot of things went on back then, and there is still a lot of things going on now with Jains. There are a lot of Jains now, I wonder how many Jains there were back then.
