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,
cuz those are reserved for only one community
#Thread Today in india minority means only one particular community .
Government role is a royal ignorance towards other minorities
Minority ministry comes up with many schemes which helps poor people from minority community.

The Blood-Chilling History Of Francis Xavier #Goa

The Christian missionaries threatened to convert Jain King Kumud and all 22,000 Jains of Goa to convert to Christianity within 6 months, abandon Jainism and accept Christianity or face death but King Kumud and Jains were ready to die and refused conversion.

An unknown historical fact is the heartbreaking incident that occurred 500 years ago. Jain King Kumud was ruling Goa. Portuguese captured Goa by forcibly removing him.

Did you know this story?
#RaniAbbakka #jaingem #jain
👇👇👇
The year was 1555. Portuguese colonial power was at its peak in the 1500’s. They destroyed Zamorins of Calicut. Defeated the Sultan of Bijapur. Took away Daman from the Sultan of Gujarat, Established a colony in Mylapore, Captured Bombay and made Goa as their headquarters. And while they were at it, pretty much unchallenged, they even ruined the ancient Kapaleeswarar Temple to build a Church over it.@truejainology

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?
