Digamberism of Jinas is the Root Culture of Indus Civilization
257 known to the Indus people who were famous for their knowledge, compassion, Nonviolence, Renunciation, Trade, Agriculture and skills all over world. It was some Natural calamity that devastated a large land area and thus seriously damaged the lives there. Since the 10 Jina images evidence it (with hunt for more is going on) and the Brahmanic approach (Vedic, Maheshwar Sutra, Gayeatri Meter and Anushtubha Chhand) failed to decipher it; for sure now one can say that all the Indian religions have got evolved from that ancient Jain religion and not vice-verca as was the misbelief so far.
