Not all Jain people have Jain surname or another exclusive surname. Many share surnames with non-Jains so in such cases asserting a person to be Jain just after checking name would be difficult. If by chance, any name here is of a non-Jain person, it is only an unintentional error. Source: As you would have noticed, most of these names in this list are from Indian Air Force and sources of these names is the Indian defence website/portal Bharat-Rakshak. This website maintains a database of >36,000 personnel of Indian Air Force from past and present and also has a search facility name wise. But do note, this website obviously doesn’t contain the names of all IAF personnel. Also, they do not have any such database of Indian army or Indian Navy yet where you can search. That’s the reason most of these names are from the Indian Airforce. Other names are sources from various sources including official posts. Thus the actual number of Jains serving and having served in the Indian Armed Forces would be much much higher than the >200 numbers I have presented here. Though Jainism believes in Ahimsa (non-violence) ,it very well allows for defensive violence against violent opponents in defence of Country, family, self, etc. This falls under the category of Virodhi Himsa, which is one of the four types of violence mentioned in Jainism. Virodhi means ‘in opposition’ and this Virodhi Himsa is Himsa (violence) done in opposition, that is against unrelenting violent opponents. In Jainism, 1st Tirthankar of current Avsarpini Kaal Bhagwan Rishabhdev himself of believed to have taught 64 skills to humankind, the foremost 3 of which are Asi Masi Krishi , out of which Asi itself means weaponry with larger meaning involving administration. That’s exactly why there could be so many Jain Kings, Queens and Soldiers who defended their kingdoms and country when needed and even now there are many many Jains who have served and are serving in the armed forces. Many have doubts about whether Jains serve in Indian armed forces given their belief in ahimsa (non-violence). Many keep questioning if Jains serve in Indian armed forces and some even wrongly claim that there are no Jains in the Indian armed forces. That’s why I put up this post and put many names from different sources with the IAF names being primarily from Bharat-Rakshak website. Request everyone to repost this. And a special request to Jains to repost this and also quote and use this post wherever you feel like whenever someone asks about Jains serving in armed forces. Will leave this thread open so maybe in future if there are many more names from databases or other sources, can post below it. Jai Hind 🇮🇳. Jai Jinendra 🙏🏼. (1/n)
