There were many tribes in Bihar , jharkhand , west bengal who were earlier Jain's but with time and few cruel kingdoms have forced conversion to them. Like
In odisha- ashwini , julahe , rangpi julahe , sarak manjinath , alekhi , rangiya
In Bihar n jharkhand
Cont.. #sarak#jain
Adhariya , bhumihar , sarak , bhil .
In west bengal
Sarak , sadgoup ( medinipur )
In ranchi there lives a Tamadiya Sarak in tamad paragana they basically came here from ayodhya and it's near by area's they have 17 Gotra mainly
are adidev, anant dev, dharm dev, kashyap .
Adinath , anantnath , dharmnath were born in ayodhya n nearby.
Tirthankar parshwnath's gotra was kashyap so sarak probably belong to same lineage.
Such a great great history and look at the today's situation.
Lets try hard to bring back them to our roots. @truejainology
The rich influential jains are royally ignoring the poor and backward jains , they shud definitely come forward and help them to get up again. @JainMaggii

#Matang , मातंग
The forgotten caste of jainsim
is a Dalit caste , We can trace the origin of Matangs in Indus valley civilization. Matangs have very rich & ancient history and we can find references in ancient Jain literture. #jaingem#Jainism#Thread @truejainology@rajamaka
They are spread across maharashtra , Telangana , karnataka .
In andhra they are also known as madhiga ".
Meaning of word matang is - elephant.
In indian culture word matang is considered as a good ( सुभ ) word.
Even today in remote villages of maharashtra @JainMaggii
If one sight's a matang , they consider it as a good luck (सुभ शकुन) .
Their basic work is to safeguard the villages(security) , making of ropes and brooms.
Whenever something good or new things marriages etc happens, ppl first invite matang, considering them as a good luck.
Ganesh Prasad ji Varni (1874–1961) was one of the foundational figures of the modern Indian Digambara intellectual tradition during the early 20th century.
Read the thread to know how much he has done for jains. #jainGem#Jainism#threadstory
He was the founder of several schools and institutions of advanced learning. He was born in Lalitpur (UP), who belonged to the Asati community(mostly Vaishnava), his father had a deep faith in the Namokar Mantra. He used to live in a Jain neighbourhood and visit the Jain temple
near his house in Mandawara. Influenced by lectures there, at the age of ten, he took a vow to take meals before sunset throughout his life. During his yajnopavita ceremony, he had an argument with the priest & his mother, and declared that he will be a Jain henceforth.
A great forgotten Gem of Jainism #sameer_muni
Who successfully inculcate great values of jainsim and it's ahimsa into the live's of khatik samaj (butcher's) of rajasthan.
Who started their day with slaughtering animals and ended their day with alcohol.
Thread cont... #JainGem
Butcher's who's life was nothing but to slaughter innocent animals and sell them into cities and earn living.
Looking at such violent nature muni thought to teach them lessons of ahimsa so that they can get rid of the killing of innocent animals.
Tirthankar's teaching of hating the paap (sin) and not the paapi (sinner) was the base of this foundation which was started by muni on 1st May 1958 by including the dalits and khatik( butcher) and ignored of the society n named them
" VEERWAL"
A jain community of mewar rajasthan
Jain's pay attention 💥
Ministry of culture has set up an Expert committee for the Holistic study of origin & evolution of Indian culture since 12,000 years. Not a single JAIN representative in the list. Neither Buddhist.
Nor can you see the words Prakrit, Pali, Brahmi anywhere.
What is happening?
Are we heading towards learning FALSE HISTORY again? See all the Name's and judge for yourself the outcome.
Will any scholar from this list present the Jain side of history? That too without any bias?
This is a call out to representatives of all the JAIN ORGANIZATIONS and influential people, activists to write to the Union Minister of State for Culture & Tourism - Shri @prahladspatel and to our PM - Shri @narendramodi questioning them about this major lapse.
#Sarak jain's kids learning jainism in patshala.
Now tell me how many of you are sending ur kids to such patshala.

The teacher asked in the class: What is it called a sign of love in the world
The whole class shouted in one voice: ′′ Taj Mahal ′′
Only one student said: ′′ Ram Setu "!
′′ What do you want to say?" the teacher woke him up.
Cont...
Student stood up and said, ′′ Ram Setu Prabhu Shriram made his wife to bring back other's land without taking possession of other's land, and Lord Shriram gave full respect to the people who built the bridge, without cutting hands
Need to evaluate our history again. #History
" Every hunter will glorify himself until the Lion learns to write "
Historians have always supported the congress agenda of promoting mughals and demean indian culture and it's rich heritage
Time for reforms @JainMaggii @vinayak_jain@Rajput_Ramesh@punarutthana@Pureminority
