FOREWORD
I have been asked to contribute a Foreword to this book on Jaina System of Education. Anything which contributes to publication of the glories of Indian Culture, no matter whether in its Hindu, Buddhistic or Jaina aspect, is welcome to me. Here is a thought-provoking, suggestive, but by no mcans cxhaustive treatisc on the Jaina System of Education by a scholar who has donc amplc justice to his theme Hc has approached it from technical knowledge of the subject This book is primarily meant for technicians but persons interested in Indian Culture in general and Jainism in particular will find it helpful and delightful reading. The author has given us a good deal of useful information about the Jaina System of Education. The chapters relating to academic degrees and female education are especially interesting.
I may also mention that real service to culture has been done by Sreejut Shanti Prasad Jain by his patronage
