Jains with their long history, their sacred literature, their temples, their ways of living, their rites, customs and the influence we had and we have, as well as their settlements in numerous countries in the world now are well presented in this book which is easy to read, well documented and destined to a large audience.

I express my hearty thanks to Pierre Amiel for his initiative. I wish all who will read this book will know us better and share even just a little of our vision of the world today, so as to be more humane, more just and in harmony with the teachings we received from our great "Tirthankara", those who, by their lives and their examples, have shown the right way, that of the "Jina" (of the Conquerors).
