4. To safeguard the interests of the Jain Community
in economic, religious, social, and other inter
communal matters. This Association is to be free from the Control of other Political Associations of the country, and is to frame its own programme, as far as the interests of the Jain Community are concerned.
The other Association is to be known as THE JAIN LITERATURE SOCIETY OF INDIA with its sole aim 'Promulgation of Jain Literature.'
Both these Associations are to have, in course of time, provincial and district branches as well.
The Jaina Gazette (English) to be issued in two parts:
Part I. An organ of the All India Jain Political Association, to be edited by Mr. A.B. etc.
Part II. An organ of the All India Jain Literature Society, to be edited by Mr. C. D. etc.
Cause of Changes. The chief characteristic of the All-India Jain Association has been in the past to be representative of the three sects of the Jain Community and in pursuance of this aim it has stood for:
(1) Union and Reform of the Jain Community. (2) Propagation of Jainism.
The main cause of its failure is that it has included such objects in its programme as propagation of religion, religious and educational reforms on which unity of the three sects is impossible, and so it could not achieve any success even in those objects on which unity of the three sects is possible which are (a) safeguarding political rights of the Jain Community (6) promulgation of the Jain Literature. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
