The guy will be scr&wed not coz he opposed the white line. Thats alright

But he tried playing it into H-Jain faultline

He entered a territory, which he is too small to enter

Current powers are trying to unite Indic religions. Going against the tide was beyond his pay grade

First and most importantly...no Jain monk asked for this. Not one. No sadhu. No sadhvi. No guru. No religious authority issued any demand, directive, or instruction to paint this pathway.

This was done voluntarily, by residents of the society, out of their own goodwill and consideration. It was not ordered from above. It was not a religious mandate. No monk showed up and said "paint this before I walk." That is not how Jain monasticism works — and anyone with genuine familiarity with Jain monastic tradition would know that.

Jain monks do not make demands of householders. They accept what is offered. They do not negotiate, lobby, or assert territorial claims.

So the entire premise of your post — that some authority "demanded an exclusive pathway" — is factually incorrect.

Second — this is not a religious marking.

There is no Om. No Swastik. No Jain symbol. No scripture. No idol. No flag.

It is white paint on a pathway. The same lime wash that has been used on Indian walls and floors for centuries. Calling it a "religious marking" is a characterization you have chosen to impose on it — it is not inherent to the paint itself. A white strip becomes a "religious imposition" only if you decide to see it that way.

Third — it is open and accessible to every resident without exception.

No one has been barred from using this pathway. There is no gate, no rope, no signage, no restriction. Every resident — of every faith, every background — walks on it freely. It is not "exclusive." The word exclusive implies others are excluded. They are not.

Now, to your broader argument — which deserves a direct response.

You write beautifully about compassion, Bhagwan Mahavir's values, and harmony. I agree with every value you invoke. But there is something important to name here:

You are appealing to Jain values — ahimsa, compassion, empathy — to ask the Jain community to remove something that harms no one.

But you tweeted with a terrible hashtag. You tagged a political party and a television news channel instead of attempting dialogue. You chose viral amplification over a society meeting.

If compassion is the standard — and we agree it should be — then it must apply to how this dispute was initiated, not just how it is resolved. Compassion does not begin with a hashtag designed to paint a minority community as an aggressor, and end with an open letter asking that same community to be understanding. Ask yourself honestly: who escalated this?

On your fear that "conflicts begin when one group's feelings are considered more important than another's": Agreed completely. Which is why we ask: whose feelings have been centred in this viral moment? A community of people who painted a footpath and said nothing — or one person who felt aggrieved and immediately reached for the most inflammatory hashtag available?

Hurt feelings are real and valid. But they do not automatically make the other party guilty. And amplifying hurt with the word "Jihad" attached is not a neutral act.

When life gives you success and opportunity to promote values, use it like Mr. Kenichiru Toyfuku.

@ewcheeew L depends on which brand bra you are going through, do a little bit research and find out brands who have been into Indian markets for more than 50 years and try out their options, these brands know more abt what you need and not some kal ki ai hui brand giving underwire's for 2k

@ashokgehlot51 Ji,
The Jain community is in deep pain. We urge you to take strong action against reckless driving, ensure the safety of monks and nuns, and bring accountability. We cannot lose more lives like this.
Please listen. Please act.

A highly respected Jain Acharya, an ocean of wisdom, lost his life today in a tragic road accident in Pali, Rajasthan — just like his guru. How many more Jain monks and nuns must we lose this way? Innocent souls, dedicated to peace and knowledge, facing such cruel deaths.

[Vinit Vikam @VinitVikam]

Is this coincidence… or are they being targeted? Why do the purest beings suffer the most? Who is responsible? Reckless truck drivers? Authorities who fail to enforce strong rules?
Why no action? Why no justice?

I Am Truly Amazed!

700+ youths from various cities across India came together for 4 days to clean the sacred Palitana Jain Teerth mountain!

What's even more inspiring? Most of these young changemakers are professionals - CAs, Advocates, Engineers, IT experts & more! Many are also avid climbers!

Together, they selflessly picked up a staggering 3000+ kgs of litter, including plastic bags, bottles, and more, restoring the sanctity of this revered site!

A huge salute to these young heroes for their dedication, passion, and commitment to a cleaner, greener India!

Applause to Samkit Yuvak Mandal for organizing this incredible initiative!

@Jain_Itihaas @satunda_jainam I'm sure you understand paap prakruti well, won't this post and you be nimit of all the papis who'll be laughing and making fun of this monk? what is the use of all the gyan sharing then? I see your posts on ig which are so inspiring but then what is this? What is your true self?

[Vinit Vikam @VinitVikam]

@Jain_Itihaas @satunda_jainam You ain't gonna achieve a thing by comparing the final state of a Digambar or shwetambar monk, If there is any shame left, delete this, and make sure you don't laugh at a monk's antim sadhna, be it of any sect or religion that is the lowest you can do.

[Vinit Vikam @VinitVikam]

@Jain_Itihaas @satunda_jainam Instagram pe itni Aatma svabhav, tattva gyan, karm theory pe post dalta hai, aur yaha itne bade saiyam paryay varsh vale nikat ghami sadhu par mazak banakar kya fayda voh saare posts ka? jab tera man toh sirf Shwetambaro pe atka hai. Kidr mohniya karm ki baate aur kaha ye sab?

Bhagwan Neminath has infinite kindness and compassion for every single living being

The Tirth belongs to him,so their will be no wrath from him

Karmasatta on the other hand is ruthless and no one will be able to escape 🙂

[harsh shah @harsh_r_shah]

The peaceful protest is not against any political party, religion or community. We are just seeking justice and protesting against the few anti social elements who have dared to harm our ancient Jain heritage...and our prabhu pratimas are reinstalled with proper honour...so that these events do not occur again..its heartening to see people from all quarters supporting us Jains in these crucial times 🙏
