An Ahimsa Crisis: You Decide: Community Role Models In Ahimsa

Every community has some role models to look to for guidance and example. We need to identify such people both within and outside the Jain community. Here is my short list of some of the people (please add to this list from your own contacts) I know and have come in touch with who inspire and challenge me to perceive and reflect upon the practice of ahimsa in everyday life.

Here are a few names that I know of; these teachers include:

Gurudev Chitrabhanu, New York
Pramoda Chitrabhanu, New York
Dr. Michael Tobias, Los Angeles
Prof. Glenn Paige, Honolulu, Hawaii
Prof. Gary Francione, Rutgers University, NJ
Fakirchand Dalal, Washington, DC
Saurabh Dalal, Washington, DC
Narinder Sheth, San Diego, CA
Pravin K. Shah, Raleigh, NC
Dr. Nitin Shah, Los Angeles, CA
Dr. Davendra Raj Mehta, Jaipur Foot, Jaipur
Ingrid Newkirk, PETA, USA
Mrs. Maneka Gandhi, M.P and Cabinet Minister in Central Govt in India.

Plus hundreds of them more.
