भारत का राजपूत वाशिंगटन, डी० सी० AMBASSADOR OF INDIA 2107 MASSACHUSETTS AVE. N.W. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20008
Through the centuries since the birth of Jainism, the Jains have been the mainstay of India's trade and commerce and the bedrock of our philosophy of nonviolence, so ably expounded in our own century by Mahatma Gandhi. In today's world as India opens up to globalisation and a closer relationship with the US, our largest trading partner, the enviable reputation of the Indian American community is embellished by the achievements of the Jains. Their regard for every form of life and their consummate skill in fair trade and commerce have won them universal respect.
The opening of a new temple in this great country is always a joy. I send my greetings to the Jain Society of Greater Detroit on the inauguration of the temple in Farmington Hills, Michigan, during the weekend of July 4, 1998.
