An Ahimsa Crisis: You Decide: Apologies

The following chapters describe my lifetime observations of practice of ahimsa within the Jain community. This does not mean that the practices and incidents described in this book are peculiar to the Jain community only. In fact many non-Jains also practice the same regularly and quite frequently. Jains are supposed to be the keepers and protectors of ahimsa. It is their paramount duty to think, contemplate and then decide their prevalent habits, customs, traditions and practices with the light of ahimsa. If any one feels offended by my candid observations and descriptions, I sincerely say Michchhami Dukhadam and ask for his/her forgiveness.
