No Jains allowed

Rajasthan, India - In its announcement, a public conference organized by Anoop Mandal touted, “It is a public program and people from all communities and religions are welcome — except Jains, of course.” The Anoop Mandal group has made no secret of their position “against the doing of the Jain community.” The Jain community has responded. Jasmin Shah, a Jain community leader, says the government should not allow the event the Anoop Mandal group is hosting saying, “It is an anti-Jain cult, which is specifically targeting the Jain monks," and that the group, "viciously abuses the Jain community in its scriptures like Jagathitkarni." The Jagathitkarni claims Jains are behind global warming through the use of "Black magic." 

Anoop Mandal is suspected of being behind the deaths of two Jain monks who were recently run over on roads in Rajasthan, India. Started in 1920 by Anoop Das, from its inception the Anoop group has projected Jains as outsiders, exploiters and non-Hindus.
