JAIN MISSION IN AMERICA share, nor do the Jains hold any eminent positions in Indian States. There was a time when the highest post of the Dewans was held by Jains in several leading Indian States.
In conclusion, I would recommend that a small conference of about a hundred leading members, comprising all sub-sects of Jainism and all shades of thought may be called at an early date, and an influential deputation be formed to make an All-India tour and devise means for the organisation, solidarity, progress and prosperity of the Jain community, and for the propagation of Jainism.
Jain Mission in America Copy of a letter to Mr. C. R. Jain from his disciple
Mrs. Evelyn Kleinschmidt. Dear Mr. Jain,
This whole thing has come about, of course through the working out of Law; but I do want to tell you in this way that I am satisfied, for the first time in my life, that I have the Truth. It has all been very wonderful in a way, and yet when we know the basic principles of Life we cannot wonder any more than that we can get enthused because the principle of mathematics is found to work. I am grateful, and you know I am, for the infinite patience with which you have passed this on to me and the generosity you have shown in giving me so much of your time.
