A new trend of research in Jainological studies is dawning in last two decades. Recent historical surveys of Jaina religion treat the Jaina community not just as it was in the beginning, but as a growing, changing, innovating, internally diverse religious group. Jaina scholars recognize that in the medieval India, great Jaina authors and polymaths like Haribhadra, Jinasena and Hemcandra offered comprehensive visions of the way the world is and should be organized. I think, this survey will provide a new thought pattern to lead the Jainological studies.
