"In religion also this degeneration was apparent... The Left Hand Marge had taken deep roots and a nursery for it existed at Vikramasila, Kashmere and Bengal. The following incident, which took place in Vikramsila will show how deep was the cancer which had eaten into the vitals of national life. A priest studying at the university was discovered with a bottle of wine. When asked he stated that it was given to him by a nun, whom he used to meet. The authorities of the university decided to take disciplinary action, but on this the members of the university split into two factions and great trouble followed.... ____Every thing was permitted in this worship - fish, flesh, wine, women. Even human-sacrifice was allowed. One passage would seem even to indicate that human flesh was also used in worship and consumed as Mahaprasad. Blood of men along with wine was also used." -A SURVEY OF INDIAN HISTORY". K.M. Pannikker, p. 105 2. "There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versons of it" - Bernard Shaw

(Nagpur, June 4, 1949) Appeal by Jains to save life of Holy monk now on hunger strike, By S.C. Diwaker Shastry. "Jains all over India are worried over the fast undertaken by His Holiness Charitra Chakravarty Acharya Shri Santisagarji Swami, the great Jain monk at Gajpantha Hill near Nasik (Bonbay) They are depressed at the indifference of the Central and Bombay Governments towards his ten month's old hunger strike started in order to get the Bombay Harijan Temple Entry Act, 1947 amended so as to exclude Jain Temples from its application as has been done by the C.P. and Berar Goverment in view of the fact that there are no Harijans in the Jain fold. According to the latest news from Nasik, the condition of Swamiji is causing great anxiety since he is having fever and fits. Swamiji is now 78 years old. If the Provincial and Central Governments do not immediately intervene, it is feared a most precious life will be lost to the country in general and to Jains in particular."

Entry into Jain Temples. Nagpur, 12th Dec. 1947. A press note says: "Governments have requesting that the provisions of The C.P. & Berar Temple Entry Authorisation Act 1947 should not be applied to the Jain temples. Section 2B of Act defines the word 'Temple' clearly enough to show that the Act applies to Hindu temples only and Jain temples are not therefore effected by the Act.

Milton rightly mentions this as the body of the angels in his Paradise Lost. The Christian, Mohammedian and other systems of religion hold a similar view. Cabalistic and Mystic systems of ancient Greece, Egypt. Assyria and Babylon also had some sort of faith in this phenomenon of changeable bodies. Popular magic, even of the black kind, connected with wizard's lore and witchcraft, also recognised that men can change themselves into animals etc. Fables and fictions in the East and the West, all the world over are familiar with this theory of physical transfigura. tion.

The Gods in Jainism have all a body, which they can change at will, it is their vaikriyaka body. They possess it universally like their antipodean analogues to the denzens of the niether world, the embodied mundane souls of the hell. The body has no flesh, blood and bones and there are no filthy excretions from it. It is very lustrous and bright. It may be compared to a cloud shot with the shining glory of a rising or setting sun now looking like one living being now changing itself into another form.

No. 33/94/50-PM5 PRIME MINISTER'S SECRETARIAT NEW DELHI 31st January, 1950 Dear Sir, With reference to the deputation of certain representatives of the Jains, who met the Prime Minister on the 25th January, I am desires to say that there is no cause whatever for the Jains to have any apprehensions regarding the future of their religion and community. Your deputation draw attention to Article 25, Explanation II, of the Constitution. This Explanations only lays down a rule of constitution for the limited purposes of one provision in the article. and, as you will notice, it mentions not only Jains, but also the Buddhists and the Sikhs It is clear that Buddhist are not Hindus, Therefore, There is no reason of thinking that Jains are considered as Hindus. It is true that Jains are in some ways closely allied to Hindus and have many duetoms in common; but there can be no doubt that they are a distinct religious community and the constitution does not in any way affect this well-recognised position. Yours faithfully, Aulai (A.V. Pai.) Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister. Shri S.G.

Page #749
petition is whether the Har1 jans are entitled to enter this Tample by reason of the Bombay Har1 Jan Temple Entry Act 1947. That Act was placed on the statute book in order to remove certain disabilities from which the Harijans suffered, and one of the most glaring disabilities was that Harijans were not allowed to worship along with other Hindus in Hindu temples. The contention of Wr. Des is that on a true construction of this Act, 16 Rindus had a right by law or custom to worship in this particular Temple, than the Harijans would have a similar right, But 18 Hindus themselves have no right to enter into this Temple, then no right has been conferred upon the Harijane by this Act, The contentions, on the other hand, put forward on behalf of the state by the Advocate General is that this Act throws opon a11 Jain temples to all the Hindus, and ina smuch as Jain tomplos are thrown open to all the Hindus the right that the Hindus have by virtue of this Act can also be oxaciood by the Harijans. In order to decide which of these two contentiong is sound, it is necessary to look both at the purpose and object of the Act and also to the language used by the Legislature in order to affoctuate that object and purpose, soc. 2 13 the definition section and the matorial definitions we have to consider is the dofinition of "Hindus" and of "Templo". "Hindus" 13 defined as including Ja Ins, and "tample" is defined as a place, by whatever nare known and to whomsoever belonging, which is used as a place of religious worship by custom, usage or otheus by the nambers of the Hindu community or any section tharsot and includes all land appartenant thereto and subsidiary shrines attached to any such place, Sec. 3 is the material section which contors cortain rights upon Rarijans, and that is in the following terms: "Notwithstanding anything conte ined in the terms of any instrument of trust, the terms of dedication, the terms of a Sanad, or a decree or order of a competent Court,

Page #750
3 or any custom, usage or law, for the time being in force to the contrary, every temple shall be open t Barijans for worship in the same manner and to the same extent as to any member of the Hindu community or any section thereof and Harijans shall be entitl to bathe in, or use the waters of, any sacred tank, well, spring or water-course in the same manner and to the same extent as any member of the Hindu community or any section thereof". The Advocate General's contention is that we must import the definition of "Hindus" given in the Act into this section and having imported that definition we must read the section as meaning that every temple, whether it is a temple of Hindus or of Jains, is open to every member of the Hindu community, which means member of the Jain community or the Hindu community. It is impossible to accept this contention. If this contention were to prevail, it would result in our holding that the Legis slature by this legislation has completely wiped off and obliterated all distinction between Hindus and Jains and that the object of this legislation was to do away with such distinction and difference. As I said before, this Aet has a narrow and limited objective, however laudable that objective might be, and the limited objective is to raise the -Barijans in status and to bring them up to the same position as high class Hindus in respect of temple entry. The object of this legislation is not to do away with distinctfon between Hindus and Jains or the distinction between Hindu and Jain temples. It is well known that Jains are Hindu dissenters and in their religious beliefs they differ from the Hindus on some material points. They do not recognise the authority of the Vedas and do not subscribe to the view that there is any religious merit in the performance of rituais and sacrifices. The Jains also differ from the Hindus in

Page #751
assigning the highest place of respect to their Saints known as Teorthankars who according to the Jains have "successively become guperior Gods" (Vide Bhamandus Telmal v. Rajmal, 10 B.H.C.A. 241, 251). It is true that according to judicial decisions in the absence of proof of custom or usage to the contrary Hindu law applies to the Jains. Even so, their distinct and separate entity as a class by themselves govorned by their own religious tenets and beliefs cannot be disputed. Therefore, though as the Advocate General assumes 1t may be possible or perhaps even desirable to treat the Jains as Hindus for all logal and social purposes, that cloarly was not the object of tho Stato Legislaturo in passing the present Act. We must thorofore refuse to accept the contention of the Advocate Goneral that the main object of the Act is to remove all the distinctions between Jains and Hindus. The othor consequence of the Advocate Goneral's argument boing accepted would be that this Act confers rights upon high class Hindus which thoy did not possess before the passing of this Act, bocauso according to the Advocato Goneral after this Act .was passed overy Hindu becamo entitled to enter a Jain tenple even though he did not have such a right before the passing of this statute. That construction also, in our opinion, is totally opposed to the objest and purpose of this legislation. This logislation was not passed in order to comfor any roghts upon high class Hindus. It was passed solely for the purpose of removing disabilities of Hari Jans. The dofinition of "temple" also lends support to the construction we are placing upon the statuta, becauso a tompl. 18 dofined as a place of roligious worship which is go by custom, usage or otherwise. That

Page #752
means that it a temple is pormitted by Jains to be used by the Mindus, then undoutedly it would fall in the det: nition of "templo" as used in this Act. Ir. Das concede: that if in this particular Jain temple Hindus are permt. tted to worship by reason of custom or usage, then the Harijan would be equally entitled to worship in this temple, But the livoiste odborai 1's asking for enigtor right for Hindu and that right is that although by law or bg custom a Hindu was not antitled to worship in a Ja in temple, by reason of this Act he became so entitled That contention we are not prepared to accept. Therefore, in our opinion, on a true construction o this Act the position in law is that in a Jain templa Hindus are only allowed to worship provided they hayo acquired that right by law or by custom. If Hindus have right to worship in a Jain tomple, then by reason of the a similar right must be conferred upon the Hari Jans. 80 that the rights of the Marijans have been made to appro. xinate with the rights of the Rindus, but the right that a Hindu has is a tight which was subsisting in him befor: the Act was passed; no now right has beon conforred upon him by this Act. Therefore, if a Hindu can establish his right to worship in a Jain templo as having existed prio to the passing of this Act, then a Hari Jan can equally well claim tho sano right. We should also like to point out that if there are any Harijans among the Jains - We are told there are none -, then the Harijans Jains would have the same right to votsh! as tho JAI have, eron though they did not possess that right before this Act we placed on the statute book. "nerofore, in our opinion, the contention of the petitioners must provail that as far as this particular Jain templo at Sholapur is concerned the Harijans have pl

Page #753
no right of entry in this templ. 11 Hindus have not that right established either by law or custom or usage. There is one other point that arises on this petition and that is the action takon by the Collector of Sholapur in this matter, We are quite prepared to concode that the Collector acted out of the best of motive, and in the Interest of a cause which is a very worthy and deserving cause, but it seems to us that the action taken by him was not fully justified by law. What he did was that at the instance of the Harijans who insisted upon their right to enter this tomple, he ordered the removal of the lock placed on the door of the temple the Jains. It sooms to us that the only right that he has got in law is the right conferred upon him by soc., 4 of the Act. That section provides that whoever pravonts a Marijan from exercising any right conferred by this Act, or molostrs or obstructs or causes or attempts to cause obstruction to a Harijan in the exercise of any such rights, shall, on conviction, be punishable in a particular, way. Therefore, 1r the Collector of Sholapur 18 satisfied, in the light of our judgment and in the light of the interpretation and construction we have put upon this Act, that Hindus had the right by law or quaton to entor this Jain tomple at Akluj, then it would be perfectly competent to him to order a prosecution of any Jain who is depriving the Harijans of the right conferred upon them under the Act. But apart from the right to prosecuto the Jains under soc. 4, 1t saons to us that the Collector had no right to compel the Jains to break open the lock or to assist the Hari Jans in entering the temple. If the view of the Collector 1s that there 19 a custom whtan entitled Hindus to enter this temple, ir the view of the Jains is that there is no such custom, the proper forum for determining this disputed question of fact would be a Court of law, and if the Collector prosecutes the Jains then this issue will come up beforo the Court and the Court

Page #754
on the taking of evidence will determine whether ther 1s such a custom in existence or not. Apart from expressing this opinion, we do not think that any ord is called for at our hands on this petition. No ordor as to costs of the petition.
