All is not so bad and ugly within the Jain community. There always have been, and still remain, many excellent shravaks and shravikas (lay men and women) who are role models and who observe and strive to practice ahimsa in their day to day lives.
From my limited observations, I present below a sampling of such people. I am sure there are thousands such exemplary people in each community. It would also be appreciated if readers will provide more examples to be included in future editions of this book.
