RELATIONSHIP OF HUMANS & ANIMALS ON BROTHERHOOD BASIS
Dr. Suresh C. Jain

The existence of soul in livings is believed in most of the religious faiths of the earth. According to Jainism the soul in all livings are similar and transferable to any 'yoni' (race) depending on the 'karma' (action) in life. This supports the idea of brotherhood among all livings including human. Great ideas of Jio aur Jine do' (live and let live) and 'Ahimsa Parmo dharma' (non violence is supreme religion) further support the view. Paper analyses and interprets the basic philosophies of various religions accepting the idea of brotherhood among all livings including animals and humans.-Editor]
