________________ CE : 14T/37952-HR/8984 There is no mention of this type of structural violence in Jainism. As a matter of fact, Jainism is more concerned, or, rather pre-occupied by the conception of mokşa, or, the realization of self. And, as such, it has emphasized only those agents of violence ( viz. kaşāya ) which cause hindrance in such a realization. We can very well 'see their role in society also as to how do these despositions are responsible in creating gulf between individual and indivdual, between individual and society and so on. But this would be an extension of the Jaina thought. We may hope that some research scholars of peace may take up this aspect and enrich the Jaina Philosophy in its social perspective also.
