Many viewers have commented that I've not talked about Jainism in this video. The sources that I used for this video (mentioned in the description) don't talk about Jain's presence during this period. In this video, I have only covered the period of 6th and 7th century AD. Most of the evidence of Jain presence that we find in Sindh do not belong to this period. They are of a later date. If you know about any literary, epigraphical or archaeological evidence of Jain presence in this period i.e 6th and 7th century AD, please mention it below.

[@jayantsingh667]

Shramana itself is enough representation of Jainism. You really need to have a blind eye to think that there weren't much jains in sindh. Your credibility is questionable.

Very nicely explained, the statue of Lord Brahma which you've shown is a very exquisite and highly perfected example of Gupta Art. It is divine. Regarding Jains commenting about the word 'sramana' is indicative of Jains - No, it is not the case. The 'sramana' term is used to refer to the non-Vedic religious traditions particularly Buddhism and Jainism. I believe the video has reached to some Jain right-wing group which has circulated it to many people. These people want to derail the academic history with their own imaginations. We shouldn't pay attention to their allegations. Om Siddham! May Lord Maheshwar be gracious on us towards the path of knowledge.

[@Mitchybianca]

Buddhism can not be considered as a sramana tradition. It abandoned the path of austerity and fasting. Sramana has simple meaning - austerity. Ajivikas were bigger followers of penance than jainas themselves. But later merged into Jainism. And about right wing group of Jains, I have been watching Jay's content since 7 months now. I'm not even an Indian. Just had visited India to do research into old religions.

@JayVardhanSingh If you want literary evidence, please read any Jain texts written in Pali. Jain texts never use the term 'Jain' to refer to jainism, they always use the term 'Sramana' to refer to jainism literally every time. ALSO, if u know any Urdu, or Arabic for that matter, the term 'budd' almost universally refers to any kind 'idol' of a deity and is used in a derogatory manner to describe deity-worshippers. You can ask any Urdu speakers for that it is general knowledge for them. Please check once.

[@bluecolour8889]

Dear friend Jainism is also related to yogic sect, which is also believed in by Hindus : Yogic sect has practices like Kundalini (by fasting and meditation) which can help you gain moksha or knowledge about your existence, universe. In Hinduism too, 'Moksha' is considered above the cycle of birth and death and for getting moksha, one does needs to understand others sorrows more than theirs and leave materialistic things in this world, like s##, even food, and meditate on 'OM', and do dhyan (focusing on inner self).So, that means Hinduism shares similarity with Jainism and Buddhism as well. If one does no bad karma, their soul go to swarg loka and stays there, then again takes good re-birth in some world. Or goes to Nark Loka, stays there then takes re-birth in a bad condition in some other world. One who get's Moksha, they become part of 'Adi apar shakti' after there death. They don't become a part of creation as a energy existing in this universe. All these things, Swarg-Nark, Moksha mentioned in 'Garud Puran' , 'Upnishad'.

Ajivika was a sect of Jainism?😂

​@@yashagrawal88indeed, ajivikas were followers of makkali ghoshala. Makkali ghoshala was disciple of Mahavira, who had changed paths due to a philosophical disagreement. But he also had remerged with jaina school of thought later on. Most of ajivikas didn't remain as seperate sect, because they were never to begin with. They were bunch of protestors against Mahavira's few thoughts. They never left pasvanthian ideology. Hence, they were sramanic unlike buddha. Buddha created his own path by establishing Buddhism. Anyone who follows path of pasvanatha, is sramana.

Mahabharata and King Jayadradha, queen Dussala are the evidences of Hindu civilization of Sindhu. नर्मदे सिन्धु कावेरि जलेऽस्मिन् संनिधिं कुरु ॥ This Daily Prayer of Hindus is enough to prove Sanatana Past of Sindhu Desh.

Buddhist and jains are both shramanas in origins. Even buddhists called themselves shramanas in their texts. They both diverged into different branches after buddha. Even one Persian king mentioned shramanas and brahmanas in his edict.

Sindh was historically jain. Great Shaiva kings conquered up jain temples and transformed them into shaiva temples.

[@user-uo1tk9ig5l]

There is not a single jain majority district in India and you are saying Jain were in majority in Sindh . There is no proof of that. One can even argue about Buddhism but buddhism was mostly in afghanistan

Jainism probably had great following in places at times like the Jews in pockets of Europe throughout history. Honestly the structures, institutions and practices of the religion doesn't suggest mainstream, especially a rural practice of the religion unlike Buddhism whose dominant expression involves great monasteries sustained by common rural people's donations in very large numbers that could be sustained only as a majority religion.

[@manthanpandya7501]

Why 😂 suddenly all Jains are here and started questioning Jay 😂?! Come on... it's history, don't be emotional and don't try to be scholars based on your religious point of views. Whatever Jay has said he has given archeological, inscriptions, travellouge, literature evidence to prove his point. If you have credible evidence to support your claim just throw it rather than questioning someone 's intentions

[@jayantsingh667]

It seems like you're blindly following Jay. If you had known anything about sindh, you wouldn't be barking like this. It's already a well known fact about how jains were the majority religion in sindh. It's not about facts. He's trying to ignore the obvious. He is behaving like genocide deniers.

[@jimmy-dz5xi]

Are you an idiot? Literally, shramana means jains.. He used a word which is used to represent Jainism, and presented it as if it's Buddhism. Such people with terrorising mentality don't deserve to have a PhD degree.

[@riteshpancholia3718]

Dumb bro, one needs not be a jain, to oppose such bull$hit. Check the section. Hindus, muslims, Christians, jains... Everyone is calling out Jay's failed attempt of distortion of history. I myself am sanatani hindu. No one has given him any authority to distort the history. Shramana word is used for jains, not for Buddhists. Yet he tried to present Buddhists as shramanas. There are thousands of Jain temples, which are converted into mosques in sindh.

Charvaka were section of this shraman movement ....most famous and the one who really had given though fight to bhraman religion was budhhism .......but sadly some idiots who call themselves as hindus or sanatani tries to potrays budhhism as a section of hinduism .actually budhhism was one of the biggest rivals of hindusim accrding to unbiased history. ..

Is Jay trying to appropriate jain history of sindh? 1) he's doing propoganda 2) he's ignorant about jainism 3) trying to cater to larger audiance, by claiming everyone was either hindu or buddhist. 4) is being paid specifically to hide jaina ancestry of sindh.

@@mayankdubey2006 probably by someone who wishes to hide jain history of sindh. Sindh was literally created by jainas. Probably some fanatic Indian right wingers who want to project Hindus being everywhere before arab conquests. Or some jains, who're trying to hide a fact that jains were present in large quantities in sindh when sindh went away to the invaders. In order to protect their face from humility, jains might be paying him on erase jaina history of sindh. Left leaning liberals who want to show that Jainism and Buddhism were born as forces to oppose Brahmanism, and that Jainism wasn't present prior to hindu brahminism. It could be anyone with vested interests.
