________________ Whitehead's Constructive Metaphysics.... : 37 New York: Fordham Press, 1996, pp. 18-19. Ibid., p. 31. In Whitehead's writings, anything which is considered social in the sense that one follows the system in order to appease a God or some final end, is considered tribal. Although I do not like the term, it is consistent with Whitehead's terminology. Whitehead, Religion in the Making, p. 40.

See also Brett Evans, “Jainism's Intersection with Contemporary Ethical Movements: An Ethnographic Examination of a Diaspora Jain Community," The Journal for Undergraduate Ethnography Volume 2 (Issue 2 2012) Roots and wings is used by Jay McDaniel to describe the necessity of being grounded, of maintaining our traditions, yet at the same time having wings to seek out the new. In the same way, diaspora jains in their new space are forced to do the same. It is in the vein of ahiṁsā, aparigraha and anekāntavāda that they are rooted, key words and vows that get at the essence of Jainism, but the wings describe the move away from the notion of moving away from the planet we are on, a move away from leaving the world and also a move away from recognizing the suffering is a normal part of the moral order of the universe. 18.
