Different teachers of different religions developed different methods all around the world during different to time. But due to pre-conceived misconceptions and mental buildup towards their teachers and their own egos compelled the followers to believe their "ism" to be only as the last and final and complete truth, which resulted in the unwanted communal enmity between different sects. It would not be impertinent here to mention the Shri Ram Janmabhumi and Babari Masjid conflict. It is horrifying illustration of overriding fanaticism. Today religious leaders are so dogmatic in their views that they are not in a position to give respect to a other's views. They assert that salvation lies in their particular community, onlyo.

The Jaina objection to their approach is only when they proclaim their own school, faith or doctrine as the only way to understand reality. But the method of opposition confined to academic debate, argumentative method and that of dialogue.? which is true way of promotion of interculturality.
