A comparative study of the Jains and the Quakers using Protestant Ethic thesis of Max Weber was written by Balwant Nevaskar in 1971. See note 4.
This inward orientation may be attributed to the Jains' belief in eternal and individual soul (jiva) present in all beings and to the Quakers' belief in inner light of Christ dwelling in every human. Because of this belief, the Quakers are sometimes seen as Christian mystics. This can be said in spite of the fact that it comprises relatively a tiny part of Indian society. 35. We may see this effort in the book by Jain, Yogendra 2007 and some others.

"Weber seems to suggest that although Jainism is spiritualized in the direction of World renunciation, some features of inner worldly asceticism are also present in it. These are reflected in such virtues as thriftiness, self-discipline, frugality, abstention, economy of time etc., which eventually promotes savings and accumulation of wealth."(Jain, Prakash 2011: 122)
