This edition of the Speak Up section features an article titled Why Hurt Jain Sentiment? A Case of Conceptual Misreading by Mr. Rishabh Gandhi, Advocate at the Bombay High Court, Former Trial Court Judge, Arbitrator, Founder of Rishabh Gandhi and Advocates, Pune.
The article’s intent is to correct the conceptual misreading of Jain dietary ethics by showing that the prohibition on root vegetables is rooted in Jain ontology and the principle of ahiṃsa, not in borrowed Ayurvedic categories. It calls for greater clarity in both judicial and public discourse to avoid oversimplification of Jain philosophy.
The Speak Up series is an integral part of ISJS’s outreach, offering scholars and associates a platform to share fresh insights, bold ideas, and creative reflections that extend beyond conventional academic formats. These contributions enrich the newsletter by sparking dialogue, encouraging critical thought, and connecting Jain studies to contemporary issues and global conversations.
The facts and the views expressed in the article are solely those of the author. Readers wishing to share questions and comments may contact the author directly at rishabh@rgaa.co.in.
