________________ to contribute of its own as found in the writings of Surendra Das Gupta, Padbanabh Jaini, Satkari Mukherjee and so forth. In the 20th century, two great thinkers of the age, Ācārya Tulsī and Ācārya Mahāprajña again came with the deeper philosophical and pragmatic understanding of anekānta. A series of books were written by them in a new style of interpretation of anekānta. Moreover questions raised by the scholars who were having ambiguity and inconsistency regarding the concept of anekānta, are resolved by them in a logical way. In the modern period in the world of research, the two works were presented in a book form on Jaina Darshan Mein Anekāntavāda by Ashok Kumar Jain and Manju Nahata with the specific topic of ‘Anekāntavāda through Paintings'. In the former work philosophical aspect of anekānta is dealt with and in the latter work, abstract concept of anekānta is expressed in a concrete way by means of skillful art and paintings. Along with this, seminars and conferences held on the topic of anekāntavāda in different places of India and abroad, the edited articles presented by the scholars in the respective seminars were compiled and published in the book form namely, ‘MultiDimensional Application of Anekāntavāda', 'Ahimsa, Anekānta and Jainism', Factets of Jain Philosophy, Religion and Culture : Anekāntavāda and Syādvāda'. All the four books, do touch upon more about the theoretical and very less about the practical aspect of anekāntavāda.So an independent endeavour has been made by me to present the applied philosophy of anekānta. After the brief discussion of origin and development of anekānta we will proceed further to have a brief introduction to metaphysical basis of anekānta.
