________________ A Hand Book of Jainology In the ancient history of India, the name of the Jain Dharma is evergreen and immortal.. Col. Toad Undoubtedly, the Jain Dharma has reached the highest point of perfection in respect of its religious philosophy. Dr. Purdolt The Jain Dharma belongs to the highest rank of religions. The main principles of the Jain Dharma are based on scientific thinking. As science keeps progressing it keeps proving the soundness of the Jain philosophical principles. Dr. L. P. Tessifori (Italy) I like the doctrines of Jainism greatly. If I were to be rebom, I wish to be born as a Jain. George Bernard Shaw Jainism is unique in preaching kindness to all animals; and in preaching the need to give protection to all animals. I have not come across such a principle of benevolence in any other religion. Ordi Corjeri (An American Scholar) Compared to Buddhism, the Jain Dharma is more ancient. Twenty three Tirthankars' existed before the emergence of Buddhism. The Imperial Gazette of India. 21 Jain Education International For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
