Some opinions about Part-I are given below : Prof. J. W. de Jong, Faculty of Asian Studies, The Australian National University Canberra. Thank you very much for sending me a copy of your book, First Steps to Jainism. It is a very interesting and most useful publication. 2 Prof. Juan Miguel De Mora, Vice President Philological Research Institute, National Autonomous University of Mexico I am in receipt of your book First Steps to Jainism, which reached me just yesterday, and am very gratful to you for sending it. Books on Jainism are very hard to come by here in Mexico, so information thereon is extremely scarce. I shall therefore read your book with great interest and hope to use it in my course at the National University of Mexico 3 Prof. G. Chemparathy, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, HOLLAND What I want to say is that your book came as a welcome present to increase my knowledge of Jainism. I had a rapid glance at the contents and I find that the book gives a very good summary of the Jaina thought. Let me wish the book every success. 4 Dr. Oscar Botto, President Centro Piemontese Di Studi Sul Medio Ed Estremo Oriente, Torino, ITALY I am deeply obliged to you for your kind gift of First Steps to Jainism by Sancheti Asoo Lal-Bhandari Manak Mal. I have very much appreciated this work which I deem one of the most enlightening and useful contribution to the knowledge of Jainism.
