FOREWORD )
Shree Sthanang Sutra - one of the Jain agams, refers to six types of questions. One of them is a question which is asked only to prove the other person wrong. Such questions do not arise out of curiosity; they are asked only to ridicule the other person.
In today's world we come across several questions. These questions arise from our own circle, from our friends, from our children or even from within. Sometimes we regret our inability to give a proper reply, regret that we could not satisfy the questioner and regret that somebody ridiculed our religion and we could not say anything about it!
These days many questions are raised by intellectuals. If such questions have arisen out of curiosity, then they would possibly get satisfactory answers in following pages. Barring a few, whose only object is to ridicule and dent the belief system, the rest of the intellectuals will definitely feel satisfied. If one does not take head on the persons who ridicule the belief, religion and dedication, it would be an offence.
