Okay !

So, the Jains of Indian @Twitter are trending #ApologizeMoitra :

A few Jain takes. All from my personal interactions. All from my anecdotal personal observations.

Jains that follow me or see this thread : introspect or Fcuk Off.

Firstly, Jains, predominantly believe in displaying their religious identity. You may call it bigotry. They may or may not be religious, but, they wouldn't spare no efforts in displaying it to the public at large.

Secondly, they're duplicitous. The vocal ones. Not all.

Thirdly, they would rather enjoy the worldly pleasures in cognito. But, behave as true Jains for 'display'. For the community's consumption.

Fourthly, money is be all & end all for most of them.
No humane feelings, no compassion, no empathy - money rules. Money governs.

I hasten to add : there are plenty of exceptions. But the norm is money mindedness.
Fifthly, most of them are fearful. Fearful of life, power, Authority, the Gully ka Gunda. You name it, they're fearful. That's ingrained in them. They put fear in them at a very young age.

Sixthly, Indian Constitution or civil society or civil rights or basic human rights r mostly alien concepts for them. Try renting or buying a house/flat in a Jain dominated building/apartment. You won't get it. Even at double the market rate. Exclusivity and exclusion suits them

Finally, if left to them, they would beat Hitler or Taliban in enforcing their dogmas & beliefs upon you.
So, @MahuaMoitra can ignore the fake outrage & be happy that she has touched a raw nerve.

PS: the Jains following me, I love & respect you cause you aren't the stereo type.

PS 2: The teachings of Jain Tirthankars may well be a boon for humanity if someone follows it truly.

Live & let live. Compassion to every living thing or a being is the fundamental premise of Jainism. It's worth emulating.

Those outraging are exactly the people Mahua described.
