It is high time now to review the entire progress of the Jain Journal in the forms of articles, and I believe some of the issues of Jain Journal which are out of print now, may be printed again, so that most of its valuable and outstanding articles which are the basic contributions to human knowledge may not pass into the land of oblivion. It is our humble request to the editor to reprint some of its past brilliant articles in a separate volume under some caption like 'Progress of Jain Studies', so that the scholars of the present generation may get a peep into the contributions of the Jains to the formation of the cultural history of India.
