The Supreme Court of India and the Central Government of India do not want to give minority status to Jains on National level, saying that this issue come under states. O.K., then how come there are National Minorities' in India like Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Parasis etc, baring only Jains? Isnt it clearly a case of discrimination against Jains?





Because of the Supreme Court and Central Government policy, Jains get no facilities even in the states where they are declared as minority community. The Prime Ministers 15-point program for minority is not applicable for Jains. The newly declared scholarships for minority Communities from Prime Minister are not available to Jains.





Even some state governments, where Jains are declared as minority, do not give all facilities to Jains.





This petition is against such discrimination by Government of India against Jains.
