________________ Please Circulate this among your friends. THE JAINA GAZETTE. THE MONTHLY ORGAN or The All-India Jaina Association. It was just at the rosy dawn of this eventful XX Century that the Jaina Gazette made its first appearance (in 1900) in the shape of a four page royal quarto as a supplement to the Hindi Jaina Gazette, under the distinguished editorship of the late Danveera Babu Deva Kumar Saheb, that eminent benefactor of the Jaisa community. Babu Dharına Kumar and Jaina Dharme Bhushana Brahmachari Sri Sitala Prasadji fostered the growth of the journal by rendering substantial assistance in the editorial work. It appeared as a separate Journal in 1904 under the able editorship of Mr. J. L. Jaini, M.A. Since then it has been successively conducted by Messrs. J. L. Jaini, B. Maneck Chand, A. B. Lathe, Sultan Singh, again by Messrs. J. L. Jaini and Ajit Prasada and now by Mr. C. S. Mallinath. To-day it is the only English Jaina Journal which is the mouthpiece of all the Jains in India. Since it is edited in English it has a wide circulation not only in India but also ia Europe and America. It treats about all topics regarding Jains and Jainism. It contains learned articles by eminent scholars on Jaina pbilosophy, Religion, Ethics, History, Literature, Law, Architecture, etc., etc. every month. It always fights for the political rights of the community and has succeeded on several occasions. . It stands for the unity and solidarity of the entire community : it acts as a cementing agent among all the Jains who live in the various provinces of India. India is passing through one of the momentous periods in her history. The political, economic and social status of the country are in the process of reconstruction Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
