Hindu - Volume 1: Jainism Before and in the Age of Mahavira Volume 2: Historical Survey and Spread of Jainism Volume 3: Medieval Jainism From the Jacket History of Jainism has bee presented her in three parts. The first part tries to prove through the archaeological and literary sources the historicity of Tirthamkara, Parsvanatha and Mahavira, explaining their life and education besides religious, political, social artistic and literary conditions of their times. The second part surveys the history of the Jaina dharma, its expansion and significance. The effects of Jaina dharma increased when Mauryas were ruling Magadha and Kharawelas ruled Orissa. No doubt. The period from the ninth to twelfth centuries CE was a golden time in the history of Jainism and even traders, labourers and craftsmen were highly influenced by it during Kusana period. Senn geographically, Cauhana, Paramara and Calukya were acting as watchmen for Jainism in the north, and in the south it was being nourished by Rastrakuta and Ganga (Kingdoms). Many Jaina temples were constructed, and monuments erected in honour of their deities. This part illustrates the many ways in which Jainism was served by the Jaina monks, saints, scholars and the politicians and answers questions such as: What kind of religious and social unions were made after the division and what were their traditional characteristics? How were the different leagues and monasteries of Jaina sages made? What was the lineage of various castes and how it originated? The third part, associated with middle ages of Jainism, describes that even though there was Muslim rule, still many organizations were sponsored with the influence of Jainism. Truthfully, there was a decline in Jainism during the middle ages but it remained protected. Many pilgrimages and historical places were established with the great influence of Jainism. Dr AH Nizami has written here about the Muslim reign, conditions of Jainism and also about the admirable Jainas. Dr Surendra Gopal has described the social and financial conditions prevailing during this period. Dr Shyam Sunder Nigam has penned on the Middle Ages of India and Dr Prakash Chandra Jain has written about the Jaina religion in the Middle Ages in Malwa region. This monumental work will be a treat for the minds and eyes of people curious about Jainism.

Preface Jainism seems to be an original and independent religion and quite distinct in philosophy, outlook on life, ethical rules conduct and samgha organization from other ancient religions of India. It originated in Magadha but gradually became an all - India ancient religion. The Jaina monks and householders played an important role in different parts of India in shaping the political, social and religious events in different periods of Indian history. The Jainological material in the form of archaeology and literature is rich and varied, and it extended in time and space. Old Jaina caves, temples and holy shrines are important from the architectural point of view. Sculptures of very early period have been discovered, some of which are most artistic. There are numerous Jaina inscriptions. Literary works written in different languages incidentally throw light on Jaina history. The Sastra - bhandaras (ie collections of manuscripts) contain rich literary material.
