The Jains claim a great antiquity for their religion. Jainism, as a system of thought, is dualistic. The attitude of Jainism towards other systems of thought is regulated by its Logic of Anekant. The Jains have always taken their due share in the development of art and culture in the country. They have played a very important part in the linguistic and literary development as well.
Jainism has been neglected as a field of study until recent times. Jain Tradition in Indian Thought covers the vaculty to some extent. This collection of essays on Jaina studies is classified in five chapters namely the Heritage, the History, Language and Literature, Philosophy and Contribution of Jainism to Indian Culture. Dr. Hiralal Jain has clarified the tradition and principles of Jainism and has underlined the very concept of Indian spirituality as universally valid heritage of the Indian people at large. He has pushed the known boundaries of knowledge forward hitherto unknown regions and did that in various ways.
