You will find charitable Jain hospitals and schools in every neighbourhood. In Mumbai, 85% eyes and 95% skin is donated by Jains and Gujaratis (Source: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/in-mumbai-85-eyes-95-skin-donated-by-gujaratis-jains/articleshow/19299085.cms) And although I could not find verify the sources, there are claims that they run 12,000 Goshalas in the country and contribute 62% to overall charitable donations. I am sorry that was your experience. While exceptions are always there, Jains truly are one of the most charitable communities.
@@shankar_unravelled How many? Count and tell. Jains build only their temples and charitable institution. They help themselves. No child of rich Jain is made muni, they bribe lure poor parents to offer their innocent child to take deeksha...
@@gauravjain183if you are talking about Mumbai then you will find that only Gujarati Jains are rich and good in business but Marathi Jains are middle class and not that good in business. In North India more than 90% Jains belong to the bania caste and we all know that Hindu or Jain all baniyas are rich and good in business. So it is the cast and the ethnicity which make them good in business not the religion. I am a Bengali OBC and if tomorrow I become a Jain then I will not become good in business but if a Marwari becomes Jain he will be good in business because he was always good in business.
South indian jains (Karnataka & Tamilnadu)are not rich compared to North indian jains. But they are economicaly good due to inheritance of wealth and business from their ancestors. Some can trace back their roots from 1000years.

I'm a proud Jain ... But there is no harm in practicing farming..... Farmers provide food for all living beings & it's a very humble job Yes very true.... We don't take anything for free... & always payback .. What we have taken
I buyed 4 gm gold from badkul(jain) and he gave me fake bill..no gst no making charges and charging me more...than i tought him that i am educated person..you cannot make me fool ...but i also thought that how ge fools lots of people and also saves tax😅
In my schooling days, I used to take books from Jain funded books, study and return it for free .. your renininded me about the favour I got 25 years back, this is to be followed by all religions.
All the point are true that my dad told me about jain community there togetherness, and trust and other things but one point you forget is that they save tax by different strategies. Keep it up 👍
5:00 just adding to warren Buffett thing, i would say one of the closest Indian to him is also a jain called ajit Jain who oversees the insurance business of Berkshire
They're are successful JUST because they are doing high margin business like gold, diamonds, REAL ESTATE, hospitals, distributors but all other business they do are poor But there community is small that's why they easily can get HELP for each others
Ye sab hota he . Community ecosystem ko majboot karke . They pool money and help other community members and so on .. Baki log bank ke chakkar laga ke Mar jate hein
Do poor?

@@dev7155gDude first of all most Jains are caste wise Banias which automatically attracts them towards business. Second Jainism's basic principle is ahimsa, which stops many for joining defence, but there are still many Jains such as Abhinandan Varthman, MAJ. SK jain, Vice Admiral Atul Kumar jain, Neeraj Jain, Maj Gen Yogesh jain. You can just type jain and defence and you'll get many results. Sports I can agree Jains have not produced many people, but the fun fact is India's first marathon runner to participate in foreign was Jain, anju jain female cricketer. Sports we can improve but we have decent people in defence. Even if you see ias, IPS there are countless Jains.
As a jain I would like to say that the 24% tax contribution has no source. This rumour has been going on for decades now. Indian government has never recorded tax collection Religion wise. The only so called source is the online jain websites and quora who themselves put a deccan herald article which states that in late 2000s a jain international trade organisation member claimed that jains contributed to 24% exchequer. Yeah so there is no primary source.
Actual I am doing service and From Delhi but trust me i have worked in six big corporates , 5 were owned by jains and they dont write jain as there surname. Not to offend I have seen jains moved from 1 factory to 10 factories in very small time, I am not rich but its true 50-70 percent jains are damm intelligent.
I was actually going to start with his story instead of Premchand Roychand Jain, but then I thought more people have heard about the BSE than the Walchand group so I went the other way. Thanks for mentioning :)
It's no secret if you follow jains path you too will be rich but remember what has given to you by nature must be returned to welfare of Society and Environment.
One thing you did not talk about is the north and south Divide of jains. Jains can be categorised mainly into 5 linguistic groups: Gujarati, Marwadi, North Belt (UP, MP, Delhi), Marathi and Kannadigas. There are also negligible numbers of Tamilan and Bengalis (Saraks). Gujarati, Marwadi and north Indian jains have a good inter community relationship. And marathis, Kannadigas, and Tamils have inter relationship. The north and south don't actually intermingle with each other. You don't see North South jain marriages. But you see bania jain marriages, or south Indian jains marrying groups like lingayats, gowdas, Marathas etc.
You can't say all Jains are rich, just like other communities, rich are a small segment of a community, many of Jain families are living middle class lives and there are many poor families in jains struggling to receive 2 course meals... So that sentence when said " Jains are rich, which is title of the video " is shallow and might bring injustice and lesser accountability to provide benefits for many Jain families that are badly struggling to meet their ends...
I hadn't seen any Jain who is not in trade business and eventually they are even not come in lower middle class family, bhai. If I am wrong 🙏Maaf karna.
@@shankar_unravelled yea, but still I feel title "why jains are rich" is like imposing a final result of some analysis... which doesn't account with priority for where our community needs support... and rather would give out false notion to general public towards many jain people in weaker financial health and make them less accountable to have attention towards having supportive sight and helping our community... They would just neglect Jains, thinking they are low in numbers and rich... so just leave them... aside... Cause it's happening today... :( And it's bad propaganda...
@@monk-e-mind Sab tarah ke hote hain Bhaiya business class or non business class, but sab Jains Ameer nhi hote... Ham minority Hain but humne kabhi us scenario ka galat propaganda nhi banaya, humne reservation nhi manga, aapne nhi dekhe matlab yeh thode hai ki sab Jains Ameer hi Hain matlab...
@@gauravjain183 ya i absolutely agree with you Butis percentage wise dekha jaye to India me least people under Below Poverty Line (BPL) are jain community and as a Hindu, I embrace your supportive community and please correct me if am wrong, as I am 19 year old boy
I appreciate the explanation and it makes sense. Though the nature of the economy itself, is extractive and profoundly imbalanced leading to great inequity. This is rooted significantly in how the monetary system works and how money has been conceived of.Thus the institutional structures are working against the core principle of Ahimsa. The world is a testament to this.
Lala Lajpat Rai who sacrificed himself was Jain, Lal Hukumchand Jain (first person ever who was hanged by British government) Our famous Indian Army Pilot Abhinandan Varthaman is Jain too, for those who are saying Jains have no contribution to freedom struggle....
Instead of arguing on the facts, lets focus on the values that make rich and lets cherish and implement those...I guess that is the whole moto of this video. Much needed one, thanks Bhai❤
Its a Religion , You can find like Tamil , Kannad Marathi Jains Aggarwal JAINS bUT MANY THINKS ONLY Gujaratis and Marwaris from Rajasthan are Jains@@onasunnyday366
Farming is not Ahimsa for them, but uprooting plants is. If you eat the fruits of a mango tree until it dies on its own, it is not Ahimsa. But if you uproot a plant in order to eat it, as in the case of onions or garlic, you are killing the plant BEFORE it's natural death - that is Himsa I hope this answers your question.
This is the most stupid reason given but this is not his fault. He just picked up what he got from internet & our education system without going deep. This is what all youtubers do. Our education system will make you feel your religion is illogical and make you subconsciously hate it. There is no truth in this statement that jains are not into farming as it is himsa. 1st tirthankar of Jain is Rushab dev and his vahan is bull ( just like Shiva or my be he is same as Shiva. Check similarity of Shiva and Rushabh). He is said to have taught agriculture and changed people from nomads to agricultural societies. I appreciate his efforts but don't take their videos as complete truth..
To the best of my knowledge Rishabhnasth Bhagwan was the First Teerthankar of Jains which is also mentioned in all Hindu literature. Rishabhnaath ji taught this world about 6 acitivities These were: (1) Asi (swordsmanship for protection), (2) Masi (writing skills), (3) Krishi (agriculture), (4) Vidya (knowledge), (5) Vanijya (trade and commerce) and (6) Shilp (crafts).[34][35][36] In other words, he is credited with introducing karma-bhumi (the age of action) by founding arts and professions to enable householders to sustain themselves.Even Acharya Vidyasagar ji who is the most reverted saint of Jains belongs to farmer family.Even all Teerthankar bhagwans of Jains are from Kshatriyas. So i don't think that jains don't do farming or work in army for protection of nation. in
Dna has nothing to do with it , people in the world assume to have a perspective that children will follow the same route thta their parents have followed. Jains , paris and vaishyas were privileged of coming from business communities in india , they even had close ties with brits involving in good trade. Upper caste and other minorities were privileged about their rights and reservations. Even aftwr independence majority of the business industry was dominated by family business.
Most of South Indian Jains work in all form of areas such as farming, business, government jobs, hospital care etc…I don’t understand why is there an issue with farming where they provide food to entire community.
let's see.. we're not going around screaming "Jain khatrey mein hai"... we don't think of killing people for not being Jains as a legitimate way to practice our faith.. we don't dismiss any knowledge or skills if it happens to be in dispute with any religious texts... we don't put our religious texts over and above maintaining peace..
I don't think it is anything to do with religion. All Jain billionaires in Mumbai are Gujarati. And we know that all Gujaratis are good in business. Same thing in North India. More than 90% North Indian Jains belongs to bania cast and everyone knows that all buniyas are good in business. So it is there baniya cast or their Gujarati ethnicity which make them good in business not there religion. I am a Bengali OBC if tomorrow I became a Jain then I will not became good in business but if a Marwadi became Jain then he will be good in business because he was always good in business.
Bro good job you explained about us in a very good way , appreciate it , but i wanna give a suggestion that make this vedio in hindi also bcz most of the indian population didnt understand english and telling this bcz i want to or i wish to reach this vedio to reach each and every person in india . Thankyou ❤❤
Source for jain owning that amount of property? Also please provide source for the textile and stock broker things. Its actually an exaggeration. You might have taken it from some jain website who themselves don't have any source.
The rich French foreigners The rich Jains and the rich Gujaratis are reliant on "Looting the Wealth of Africa" The Gold, Diamond, Uranium etc. of africa Today Africa is fighting for the wealth that were looted by the foreigners
Your statistics of 24% tax, own 28% of Indian property is a wild outrageous guess (or whichever news paper makes that claim). I know many Jains who are normal middle class folks, the biggest mantra for their success in my opinion ( which you have correctly pointed) 1) Joint family living amicably, this gives a tremendous psychological support and security, and allows one to take risk because they have a safety net to fall back on knowing they will have roof, food and their children will be taken care of in case things go wrong. 2) They have a tight community network by which getting credit, loan, preferred partnership is very easy. 3) They are not so much distracted by material trapping and vices and super focused on their objective. They take pride in charity not splurging money on extravagance or show off. 4) Lastly Satvik food may also be a factor as they say in business 'never make a deal when you are extremely happy or extremely angry or any such emotional extremity ' .Satvik food apparently keeps your mind in a balanced state of mind as I have heard.
@@shankar_unravelled It's not a primary source. Even the source states they are just claiming the number and have no proof of it. So please correct it. This rumour has been going on for decades.
From where did you get National Literacy rate of 65%. India's literacy rate was more than 72 as per 2011 census and is somewhere between 78 and 80 currently. Please do a little research before posting such videos.
Actually, it was 77.70 as per 2022, but the numbers that I have quoted are as per the 2001 census as I had to quote all the numbers from the same reference year to ensure parity in comparison: www.indiabudget.gov.in/budget_archive/es2001-02/chapt2002/chap106.pdf Thanks for pointing it out :)
@@dineshpoojary5961 even if I agree with you, still Jains pay highest tax in India. Do some research. Don't depend on WhatsApp University. If a community is doing good and contributing to our country, we should be proud of it as an Indian regardless of what community we belong 🙏
I can bet Gujarati and Marwari Jains are richer than Marathi jains and Kannada Jains. Infact I am marathi brahmin till college I didn't knew marathi jains also exist. I only knew Gujarati and Marwari Jains because here in Maharashtra most of the dominant shopkeepers and Businessman are mostly Gujarati and Marwari Jains specially in Mumbai and Pune.

I am surprised by your intelligence 😂 Jain population is less that 1% in india still they are richest and pay highest taxes. It's your community who is stopping India to become developed country
best and short introduction to the jain community ,one doubt ,are mar waris ,a sub group of jains or are they different ,they are very good in business but not much in education
While I am no expert on the subject, Marwaris are not a classification based on religion, but on region. They are usually people who originated from the region of Eastern Rajasthan, and were involved in trade and commerce. So while some Marwaris might be Jains, it is not true that all Marwaris are Jains.
If any particular community or religion high in power or intelligence, or in wealth. Not means DNA or their life style. Not Their hardworking. This is purely God gift. God decided ago and ago so as per God decision they are wealthy.
It has nothing to do with religion. Only Jains belonging to trading classes are rich. The rest are just middle class. Caste plays a bigger role than religion. Please compare Hindus and Jains from the same caste background; you will find no noticeable difference in economic status. Also, there are many negative aspects of Jainism that nobody wants to discuss.
@@yono4633 Jains are divided into multiple castes. Only the jain baniyas are prominent in business. Why not the rest? Are they lesser Jains? Jains are rich because they were born rich. It was always a movement of the rich and powerful. Common masses never adopted Jainism. The rules of Jainism are so impractical only the rich can afford it. There is no evidence of any kind of social movement of any caste after adopting Jainism. Yes, a few Kashtriyas did take to doing business under influence of jainism. So what? The entire khatri community which is derived from Khastriyas does business and are staunch Hindus. There are many examples of caste mobility within Hinduism that is better than Jainism. Please compare people from the same groups, Ex jain agarwals with hindu agarwals. You will not find any significant differnce in income and education. The entire scenario arises because they compare apples with oranges. And no jains do not pay 24 percent of India's taxes. There is no such data available. This lie is made up by Jains to massage their ego and is also repeated by their jain munis and institutions. So much for Satya and Astya. What about the Gujarati patels who are not from a business background and were mostly farmers that are upstaging them from the diamond trade?
Jain baniya marvadi non can start business if other states put a ban on these communitys..as if other community dnt have skill more than u..every people works gains reasonable profit..who cheats on tax less salary compensation bribe unquality makes billions if every one starts cheating all have to b scared every minute.. Cheating is not an art of business being truthful is business.. All are equal in their own way..

The opinion on farming is divided among Jain saints and scholars - not all Jains would agree with you. I am not saying whether it is right or wrong. I am just stating the facts.
you have to do deeper research..... very very peripheral thoughts.... Jainism was the major religion in Tamil Country before Bhakti movement brought Hinduism... your thoughts are limited to current day Jain's... No problem if you limit yourself to the last 300 years... Longevity in life needs to be attributed to availability of Medical Care rather than only on diet... Don't glorify unnecessarily.... there is a great difference from Tamil Jain's who were predominantly into agri to marwari and Guj Jain's into trading..... Very very peripheral thoughts.... stick to what you know for sure....
Sorry, but I never said whether Hinduism or Jainism came first in Tamil Nadu. That is largely debatable even among scholars of the subject. Moreover, the kind of medical care available to people today is largely the same, and the data clearly shows that Jains are living longer, so the other factor has to be diet - research confirms the same, too. The population of Tamil Jains is estimated to be 25,000-35,000: blogs.lse.ac.uk/southasia/2015/12/11/the-tamil-jains-a-minority-within-a-minority/ The total population of Jains per the 2011 census is 4,451,753. So, Tamil Jains are about 0.78% of the total Jain population of India. Yes, Tamil Jains were predominantly in Agriculture, but since the majority (remaining 99.2%) of Jains did not practice agriculture, I feel I am right when I say that the majority of Jains do not practice agriculture :)
@@shankar_unravelledbro availability doesn't mean affordability so a wealthy group has higher likelihood have acces to good healthcare and Medicine and thus longevity. And remember vegetarian jain food is inferior to meat and eggs. Because Meat is the most nutritious dense food on the planet. They are in business because they belong to bania caste. Nothing to do with agriculture. Agriculture is manual labour job. They become distributor of agriculture but not manual labour.
@@yono4633 absolutely wrong information. Contrary to popular claim Most jains are not Banias. Please check out the population of Marathi and Kannadiga Jains and their work in agriculture. It's because of the dominant nature of Marwadi and gujrati that jains are portrayed as such.
@@yono4633 Vegetarian jain food is so inferior that jains have the highest life expectancy, more than meat eaters. Just third to Jews and Buddhists in the world.
What about Brahmins who hold most prestigious positions at power centres; media, judiciary, Bureaucracy, college/universities, business. Can you do study on that as they hold far more than their proportion. Apologies if this offend anyone, but I'm seriously curious over that.
Brahmins have privileges of first took english education, brahmin have multidimensional growth in all fields likes defence, sports, business, art and culture, spirituality,
