The survey is comprised of thirty questions related to demographic information, religion, diet, and views on a variety of socio-ethical and moral issues. The survey was conducted among a convenience sample of 200 literate Indians settled in the metro cities such as Kolkata, New Delhi, Jaipur as well as small towns in Rajasthan; I met these participants during the course of my research through personal contacts and references. They were both male and female adults from different social, economic, professional and even religious backgrounds, although most were Jains.
I have organized the outcome of the survey around several themes derived from the categories of Tulsian vows. However, before I present the survey findings, I will give a demographic overview of the participants according to the data result.
