AMCHI MUMBAI. THEIR BALANCE SHEET. The untold story of how Gujarati and Jain merchant communities built the financial architecture of Bombay while politics later perfected the art of claiming it. Read only in @BWBusinessworld businessworld.in/article/amc…

The current chief of R&AW is Parag Jain. They managed to make Khalistan out of Sikhs They managed to make Bhim Army type groups out of Buddhists. They attempted to separate Jains as well but failed. This sudden hatred for Jains is just another attempt to sow hatred between Hindus and Jains and they will fail again.

When I say I am against reservation, that doesn't mean I am against the concept of reservation itself. Rather, I believe the way it has been implemented in our country is problematic. Take this example, this Sejal girl got an MBBS seat with 406 marks through the ST category. Just to put that into perspective, some students don't get an MBBS seat even after scoring 600 marks. I myself had to take a drop year after scoring 600. Now look at the lifestyle she follows. I find it hard to believe that she lacked resources or opportunities during her school years. On the other hand, the people for whom this reservation was originally intended, the genuinely underprivileged tribal communities, often don't even know what NEET-UG is, let alone have the awareness, or resources needed to pursue an MBBS degree. The person who should ideally benefit from this reservation is often nowhere in the picture, while privileged individuals continue to take advantage of a system that was created to uplift the underprivileged. I don't understand how this system, in its current form, is supposed to reduce social inequality. While there are certainly cases where genuinely deserving individuals benefit from reservation, but in majority instances the reality appears very different.

सगळा गुजराती समाज श्रीमंत नाही त्यातही मध्यम वर्गीय आहेत आणि सगळा मराठी समाज गरीब नाही त्यातही सर्व वर्ग आहेत आपणच आपल्याला कमी लेखले आणि दाेष इतर समाजावर टाकलेत...

लवकरात लवकर जवळच्या जैन मंदिरात आश्रय घ्या 🙏 मस्जिद पेक्षा खुप सुरक्षित असतात मंदिरे.

मला तुम्हाला प्रश्न विचारायचा आहे. मी दुबई मध्ये सिंगापूर मध्ये आणि युरोपमध्ये बघितले होते. तिकडे मराठी मंडळ प्रसिद्ध आहे. सर्व मराठी लोक एकत्र येतात आपले सण साजरे करतात किंवा एकमेकांकडे जातात आणि इतकेच काय तर एकमेकांच्या जवळ राहण्याचा देखील प्रयत्न करतात. आपल्या आजूबाजूला एखादा फ्लॅट खाली झाला तर तेथे लवकरात लवकर आपल्या एखाद्या मराठी कुटुंब राहायला आले तर बरे होईल असे त्यांना वाटते. आणि प्रत्यक्षात असे होत असते. त यामध्ये मराठी लोक सिंगापूर किंवा गल्फ मधील स्थानिक लोकांना नाकारतात असा याचा अर्थ असतो का?? सिंगापूर मध्ये तमिळ लोक ज्या पद्धतीने एकमेकाला धरून राहतात किंवा गर्ल्स कंट्रीज मध्ये केरळा मधील लोक किंवा मराठी लोक आणि गुजराती लोक आपापल्यात कम्युनिटी बनवून जास्तीत जास्त ग्रुप तयार करून आपल्या लोकांबरोबरच राहायचा जास्त प्रयत्न करतात किंवा आपल्या लोकांनाच तिथे जास्त काम द्यायचा प्रयत्न करतात. याचा अर्थ असा असतो का की यांना तेथील स्थानिक लोकांना आदर द्यायचा नसतो??

This “only we are sons of the soil” attitude is wrong and dangerous. Take pride in being a Bhumiputra, no problem. But do not use that pride to label other communities, who have lived in Mumbai for generations, as outsiders. Jains, Gujaratis, Marwaris, Parsis, South Indians, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and many other communities did not come to Mumbai yesterday. Many of their families have been here for three or four generations, some even longer. They studied here, built businesses here, created employment here, paid taxes here and contributed to the growth of this city. So what exactly are they? Permanent outsiders? That is not justice. That is prejudice. Before 1960, Maharashtra and Gujarat were not separate states. Both were part of the larger Bombay State. Mumbai was already a centre of trade, industry and migration. Naturally, many Gujarati, Jain, Parsi, Marwari and other communities have been living here since the 1850s and even earlier. Just because a state border was later drawn and Mumbai became part of Maharashtra, people who lived here for generations did not suddenly become outsiders. A state boundary does not mean one linguistic community gets sole ownership over a city. If that is the attitude, then what is the point of India as a nation? Every state would have been a separate country. The idea of India exists because a citizen can legally live, work, pay taxes and contribute anywhere in the country without being treated as a foreigner. Mumbai was not built by one community alone. It belongs to the Koli community, Marathi mill workers, labourers, traders, entrepreneurs, doctors, teachers, construction workers, shopkeepers, transporters and every person who worked hard for this city. Jains, Gujaratis, Marwaris, Parsis and other business communities played a major role in making Mumbai the financial capital. They built industries, created jobs, strengthened markets, provided finance and helped build the economic backbone of the city. And it is not only business. These so-called “outsiders” have built many schools, colleges, charitable hospitals, trusts, hostels, food charities, community halls and social institutions in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Many poor and middle-class people have benefited from these institutions, not only people from their own communities. Their contribution in education, healthcare, employment and charity cannot be erased just because it does not fit a political narrative. For so many years, all communities lived together in Mumbai. We did business with each other, worked with each other, lived as neighbours, bought from each other, hired each other and built lives together. There was no problem then. So why suddenly are these communities being projected as a threat now? Is this fear coming from reality, or from political speeches and social media propaganda? Some people have been vocal against particular religions and communities for a long time. Some failed social media personalities and failed YouTubers try to stay relevant through cheap stunts like this. Instead of ignoring them, media gives them a mic because outrage brings views. But this only creates more division in society. Everyone gets their own agenda served, and in the end society and India suffer. Other communities became economically strong because they supported each other. They built community networks, gave capital to each other, helped each other start businesses, gave references, stood together in difficult times and lifted their people. Many times, they helped even when the person was not a relative, just because there was community trust. In our society, forget helping someone from the same caste or community, many times even our own relatives hesitate to give monetary help. If someone needs capital for business, support during a bad phase or help to build something, people often step back. This crab mentality can never let any community grow. So instead of being jealous of other communities’ progress, learn what they did right. Do not waste energy ranting, blaming and calling everyone an outsider. Use that energy for self-progress. Get educated, build businesses, improve skills, create networks, help your own people financially and create employment. Bhumiputra pride is fine, but it should not stand on the insult of others. Mumbai is not anyone’s private property. Mumbai belongs to every person who has lived here, worked hard here, followed the law and contributed to the growth of this city.

माझ्या सर्व मराठी मित्रांना एक विनंती आहे. या माणसाला आंधळेपणाने पाठिंबा देण्याआधी एकदा नीट विचार करा. हा तोच माणूस आहे ज्याने एकदा कुणीतरी त्याला गणपतीची म्युरल भेट दिली म्हणून तक्रार केली होती. त्याला वैयक्तिकरित्या मूर्तीपूजेवर विश्वास नसेल, हा त्याचा वैयक्तिक विषय आहे. पण ज्याने श्रद्धेने आणि प्रेमाने भेट दिली, त्याच्या भावना तरी समजून घेता आल्या पाहिजेत. तुम्ही एखाद्याच्या श्रद्धेवर विश्वास ठेवत नसाल तरी त्या व्यक्तीच्या भावनेचा आदर करता येतो. पण तिथेसुद्धा याने रडगाणं गायलं आणि अपमानासारखी भाषा केली. आणि आता हाच माणूस मुलाखतीत म्हणतो की “आम्ही आमच्या देवीला कोंबड्या आणि बकरे अर्पण करतो”, जणू काही हा अचानक श्रद्धा आणि परंपरेचा रक्षक झाला आहे. मग नेमकी भूमिका काय आहे? कुणीतरी गणपतीची म्युरल भेट दिली तर मूर्तीपूजा चुकीची, पण सध्याच्या अजेंड्यासाठी कोंबडी-बकरी अर्पण करणं “आपली परंपरा”? हे मराठी अस्मितेचं प्रकरण नाही. हा निवडक संताप आहे. अशा लोकांचं कामच समाजात राग निर्माण करणं, विशिष्ट समाजांना टार्गेट करणं आणि स्वतःला चर्चेत ठेवणं असतं. आज जैन आहेत, उद्या दुसरा कुणीतरी असेल. मीडिया यांना फुटेज देतो कारण वादातून व्ह्यूज मिळतात, पण त्याची किंमत समाजाला द्वेष आणि फुटीच्या रूपाने मोजावी लागते. आपल्या संस्कृतीचा अभिमान बाळगणं योग्य आहे. पण त्या अभिमानाच्या नावाखाली दुसऱ्यांची श्रद्धा, आहार, जीवनशैली किंवा समाजाचा अपमान करणं हा अभिमान नाही, ती असुरक्षितता आहे. मराठी लोकांनी कुणाच्या वैयक्तिक नैराश्याचे आणि अपयशी प्रसिद्धीच्या प्रयत्नांचे फुकटचे कार्यकर्ते बनू नये. पाठिंबा देण्याआधी लॉजिकने विचार करा.

A white strip painted for barefoot walkers within the boundaries of a housing soceity has "sparked controversy" because one resident says he wasn't consulted. Here's what the law actually says. In a housing society, individual consent is not required. If the managing committee passes a decision in the general body with majority approval, and it doesn't violate the model by-laws, it can be implemented. Period. The Maharashtra State Co-operative Appellate Court reaffirmed this as recently as May 21, 2026 (Appeal No. 24 of 2026): the general body is the supreme authority. The aggrieved resident had one job: to tell us whether this was discussed in the society meeting, whether the majority consented or dissented, and if he was in the minority, why he believed the decision violated the rules. He didn't. Instead, he went viral, which he is entitled to, but... If he genuinely believes the decision was unlawful, the correct route is a complaint to the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies so that it doesn't remain just a social media post and his campaign appears genuine.. By withholding every legally relevant fact, the complainant didn't raise a housing issue. He ran a clickbait campaign.

You're not even Jain, bro. Stop all these non sense comments while sitting in USA/Canada. You're just defaming Jains by commenting all these hateful things.

It's unfortunate that because of the actions of a few individuals, people often ignore the contributions of millions of law-abiding and productive citizens. The Jain community has made significant contributions to India's growth in industry, science, education, healthcare, philanthropy, and nation-building. For example: • Walchand Hirachand – A pioneer of Indian industrialization who helped establish India's shipbuilding, aviation, and automobile industries. • Vikram Sarabhai – Widely regarded as the father of India's space program and a key architect of India's scientific advancement. • Acharya Vidyasagar Ji Maharaj – Inspired educational institutions, rural development projects, water conservation efforts, cow shelters, employment initiatives, and social upliftment programs. • Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain – A leading industrialist and philanthropist who contributed to Indian media, education, and business development. • Ashok Kumar Jain – Played an important role in the growth of Indian media and educational initiatives. • Ravindra Kishore Sinha – Entrepreneur who created employment opportunities for thousands through India's security services sector. • Numerous Jain business families and entrepreneurs have built industries, generated jobs, funded hospitals, schools, hostels, animal welfare projects, and charitable institutions across India. Jains constitute less than 1% of India's population, yet their contributions to entrepreneurship, employment generation, education, healthcare, philanthropy, and economic development have been disproportionately large. If any individual is accused of wrongdoing, they should be investigated and held accountable according to the law. But blaming an entire community of millions for the alleged actions of a few individuals is prejudice, not justice.

सगळ्यात गंमतीशीर गोष्ट म्हणजे ज्या पांढऱ्या पट्ट्यांवर एवढा गदारोळ केला जात आहे, त्या कोणत्याही प्रकारच्या अस्पृश्यतेसाठी किंवा भेदभावासाठी नसून उष्णता कमी करण्यासाठी आणि जमिनीचे तापमान कमी ठेवण्यासाठी काढल्या आहेत. उष्णता परावर्तित करणाऱ्या साध्या पांढऱ्या रंगाला धार्मिक किंवा सामाजिक कटकारस्थान ठरवणे हे तथ्यांपेक्षा कल्पनारंजनच जास्त वाटते. जर प्रत्येक पांढरी रेषा पाहून कोणाला अस्पृश्यता दिसत असेल, तर समस्या त्या रेषांमध्ये नसून त्यांच्या दृष्टिकोनात आहे. खऱ्या समस्यांवर बोलण्याऐवजी विनाकारण वाद निर्माण करणे आणि समुदायांमध्ये तेढ निर्माण करणे हेच अधिक चिंताजनक आहे. काही मराठीवादी गटांतील लोक ज्या प्रकारे गुजराती आणि जैन समाजाला सतत लक्ष्य करत आहेत, ते पाहून वाईट वाटते. महाराष्ट्राची ताकद नेहमीच विविध समाजांनी एकत्र येऊन केलेल्या योगदानात राहिली आहे, एकमेकांविरुद्ध द्वेष पसरवण्यात नाही. स्वतः काही सकारात्मक निर्माण करण्याऐवजी जे लोक उद्योग, व्यापार, रोजगार आणि समाजकार्यात योगदान देत आहेत त्यांनाच सतत लक्ष्य करणे हा प्रगतीचा मार्ग नाही. अशा राजकारणामुळे किंवा द्वेषामुळे कोणत्याही समाजाचे भले होत नाही; उलट महाराष्ट्राची एकता, विकास आणि प्रतिमा यांनाच नुकसान होते. टीका करा, मतभेद मांडा, पण संपूर्ण समाजांना "बाहेरचे" ठरवून त्यांच्याविरुद्ध वातावरण तयार करणे हे महाराष्ट्राच्या हिताचे नाही.

Mr. Vedpathak, What surprises many people is not that you raised a question, but the way you chose to raise it. Before understanding the purpose behind the practice, you used the term "Jain Jihad" — a phrase that unfairly associates a peaceful religious tradition with something aggressive and hostile. Later, in your own video, you acknowledged that Jainism is an achha dharam and deleted your earlier post. If that is your genuine belief, then surely you can understand why many people found your original choice of words offensive and inappropriate. The reality is quite simple. • The white coating on the pathway was not damaging the society. • It was not reducing property values. • It was not blocking access to anyone. • It was not taking away anyone's rights. • The pathway remained open to every resident. • In fact, such practices are followed at many temples and religious places across India, particularly where monks and devotees walk barefoot. • The purpose is practical — white-coated surfaces remain cooler during intense summer heat and make barefoot walking more comfortable. Most importantly, how does this negatively affect your life in any meaningful way? Has your property value gone down because of it? Has your quality of life suffered because of it? The answer appears to be no. Had you spent a few minutes researching the reason behind the practice, you would likely have found a satisfactory answer. Instead, a simple local matter was presented in a way that invited outrage and communal interpretation. The monks you indirectly targeted are the same people who spend their lives practicing non-violence, renunciation, self-discipline, and compassion. They walk barefoot not for convenience, but as part of a centuries-old spiritual commitment. Whether one follows Jainism or not, such dedication deserves understanding and respect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking questions. But when a question is framed using inflammatory language, it stops being a search for answers and starts looking like an attempt to provoke a reaction. Everyone can make mistakes. The mature response is not just to delete a post, but to acknowledge that the term "Jain Jihad" was wrong, clarify the facts, and apologize to the community that was unfairly targeted. #Jain @prasadvedpathak

This dude's full-time job is manufacturing outrage from thin air. His society must be absolutely fed up of this professional victim every single day.Bro, do some basic homework before screaming "Jain Jihad". It's cheap oil paint that washes off in 4 months — exactly the Chaturmas when monks stay in one place. The society is just being decent to barefoot ascetics. Zero damage to your precious walkway or your fragile ego. Jains are one of the most peaceful, educated, and zero-trouble communities in India. But some clowns are so desperate for relevance that a harmless white line makes them froth at the mouth. Touch grass, stop the fake jihad hunts, and let normal people do normal kind things.
