[B] DARSHAN WING
[1] There should be a committee consisting of scholars which can articulate the views of the Jains on matters relating to problems faced by the world. The same committee may undertake publication of books, pamphlets and such other literature on the Jain religion. It can also counter false propaganda conducted by the opponents of the Jain religion through media, lectures and publications of books. The central body may spread the gosple of Ahimsa (non-violence) and exchange information on experiments that are being conducted the world over. It can also exchange information among the Jains on important events that are taking place in their respective countries. There should be a wing which can provide information and training on the basic tenets of the Jain religion, Yoga
etc.
[2] Religions today, throughout the world, try to understand and respect each others philosophy, through interfaith activities. The activities of Jain religion are exemplary in this respect. Jains have never demanded their own "Land"
