The opinions of the Indian Scholars about the Jain Dharma
"The Syadvad provides us with a point of view of comprehensive and unified visualization. It is not related to the fundamental secret of an object. According to it, we cannot attain a complete knowledge of an object unless we view it from various points of view. The syadvad is not a conjectural approach to reality. It teaches us how we should look at the universe.
Prof. Anandshankar Dhruva
The Jain Literature is greatly useful to the world in the sphere of historical research and studies. It provides abundant material to historians, archeologists and scholars to carry out their research. The Jain Sadhus have set a magnificent example to the world of self-discipline by disciplining their senses absolutely and by observing vows and principles with the greatest degree of austerity. Even the life of a householder who has dedicated himself to the Principles of Jainism is so faultless and perfect that it should be honoured throughout India.
Dr. Satish Chandra Vidya Bhushan (Calcutta)
Lord Mahavir communicated the message that Dharma is the only truth, with his voice that resounded like the sounds of a kettledrum. It is really significant that this message has captivated the whole country.
Dr. Rabindranath Tagore
We can attain absolute serenity by following the path shown by Mahavir. In no other religion do you find the philosophy of non-violence developed to such an extent. On account of its philosophy of non-violence, the Jain Dharma is worthy of becoming the religion of the world.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad
The Jain Dharma was in vogue even before the emergence of the Vedant darshan. The Jain Dharma has been in practice even from the beginning of creation.
