I know this is an unpopular opinion, and I say this with utmost respect for our traditions - Jains please do not use "Jain" as your surname.
I understand that carrying "Jain" as our surname fills us with pride. It represents our values, our heritage, and our identity, however, historically, using "Jain" as a surname wasn't an ancient practice тАУ our gotras or professions were our surnames.
While adopting "Jain" as a common surname has united our identity, time and again we've witnessed its downsides too.
Recent events also show that when one person with a 'Jain' surname makes a mistake, the entire community faces scrutiny. One individual's actions shouldn't define millions of Jains.
This isn't about hiding our identity or feeling ashamed тАУ not at all. It's about protecting our community from collective judgment based on individual actions. Our identity isn't just in our surname тАУ it's in how we live, the compassion we show, and the principles we uphold every day.
I know many will disagree, and I respect that completely. However, one person's wrongful deed can have ripple effects we never intended.

Many Sikhs say to Hindus тАЬno one asked you to donate, why did you donate in gurdwaraтАЭ
They fail to realise that Hindu donations are not restricted to just gurdwara - why do Sikhs ask us for donations at our home and shops - why donтАЩt they STOP or knock at the doors of Sikhs ONLY
Savarkar? Woh kaun hai? Koi jain scholar ya fir jainacharya ya Gachchhadhipati ya gitarth bhagwant, jiske words ko sabhi Jains ko padhna hi chahiye?
Hum sirf JAIN hai baki hindutva ki definition tum apni gav me daal lo.
@AdityaSatsangi Actually it's the other way around. Veda me jo aaya woh jainism se aaya. Infact jitne vaidik scholars jainism me aaye woh jain shastro ki tarif karte nahi thake.
People ask why Jains have become so anti Hindu. Let me clarify , they're not anti Hindu. Theyre tired of seeing theirnsacred spaces become tourist spot. See the behaviour of these people (not generalising) but this needs to be kept in check, n restricted.
50 protestors were arrested by Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar yesterday late in the evening. Not one BJP, OPPOSITION neta has demanded amnesty.
HOW MANY CJP ACTIVISTS HELD FOR JANTAR MANTAR VIOLENT NEET PROTEST? = 0
HOW MANY PRO-MERIT PROTESTORS DETAINED FOR PEACEFUL PROTEST AGAINST QUOTA AT JANTAR MANTAR? = > 50
How many "freedom of expression activists" demanding the release of "meritorious" protestors? = 0
WHAT'S THE MAIN DEMAND OF ANTI-QUOTA PROTESTORS:
Reservations should go to poor, not castes.
IS MAKING SUCH A DEMAND PEACEFULLY A REASON TO DETAIN/ARREST?
JANTAR MANTAR IS NO PLACE FOR PRO-MERIT, ANTI-QUOTA PROTESTORS!
That's the message as Delhi Police clears up Jantar Mantar where a large number of people had gathered to protest against caste-based reservation.
NO RIGHTS ACTIVIST WILL POST IN FAVOUR OF THEIR RIGHT TO PROTEST
