Reason why missionaries are targeting jains a micro minority community.
They are suffering from missionaries & vote bank politics
These are BPL jain families in karnataka they are deprived from all sort of minority benefits,

Details of scheme's which were run in karnataka state where many poor and BPL jain family resides.
Thousands of beneficiaries and Crores of money is spent but nothing reaches to BPL jain families.
