HISTORY OF JAINISM IN ORISSA
researches are being done on the history of the sravakas and it has been proved that the tribal saraka people are the real sravakas of the old Jain community. Thus, the history of Odisa or Orissa should be seen in the light of the Jain history also to trace and determine its real glorious history and culture.
