NOTES AND NEWS.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
We wish a happy new year to all our Subscribers, Contributors and Readers. While offering them our sincere thanks for the help they were rendering in the past years, we earnestly request them to co-operate with us to improve the Gazette in every respect.
OURSELVES.
We are glad to announce that Mr. Ajit Prasada, M.A., LL B. of Lucknow, has again joined us as a Joint-Editor. It is needless to say that his long experience as an Editor, and his sound knowledge of Jaina Religion and Literature will go a great way to enhance the value and prestige of our Journal.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS FOR JAINS.
We understand that Rai Bahadur Moti Sagar Ex-Judge, High Court, Punjab and Honorary Vice Chancellor, Delhi University. Rai Bahadur Parasdas Honorary Magistrate and Government Treasurer, Delhi and thirty other leading Jains have on behalf of the Jain Community of the Delhi Province made the following representation to the Honourable the Chief Commissioner of Delhi.
The Jains are second to none in their loyalty to the British Empire and whenever occasions have arisen, they have demonstrated their loyalty ard devotion to the Government. In the Commerce and Trade of the country the Jains take a leading part and proportionate to their number they are the richest community in India. It was rightly said about them by His Excellency Lord Curzon of Kedleston, when Viceroy of India, that half the wealth of India passes through their hands. We can say with pride that the Jains boast of a hoary antiquity in religion and philosophy which have imperceptibly but indelibly affected the minds of the millions of this big country. We are also proud to add that the Jains have played a conspicuous part in the civilisation of Ancient, India, and even now we hold no mean position in the scale of communities.
