SIR, MADAM,
I have the honour to bring to your kind notice the publication noted below with the criticism of that' portion of the book which deals with the Jainism, running thus:--
"Highroads of Indian History--Second book ( School Series ) by H. L. 0. Garret, M. A., I. E. S. and Ch; Abdul-Hanid Khan, M. A., Principals of Govt. Colleges, Lahore and Lyallpore respectively, published by M/s Uttär Chand Kapur and Sons, Lahore."
"As it was necessary the authors, have devoted some three pages to Jainism also, giving therein the life of Mahavira-its founder, as they say. But this account, we can safely say, is entirely unfounded, misleading, wrong, dealt with in a tone seriously injurious to the religious feelings of the Jain Community and bound to lead the public and the students to forin a wrong idea about the religion.
