WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Jain vegetarianism is the diet of the Jains, the followers of Jainism. It is the most strict form of religiously-motivated diet regulation in the Indian subcontinent. Jain objections to the eating of meat and fish are based on the principle of nonviolence (ahinsa, literally “non-injuring”).

Detailed explanation-2: -To avoid bad karma, Jains must practice ahimsa, a strict code of nonviolence. Jains believe plants, animals, and even some nonliving things (like air and water) have souls, just as humans do. The principle of nonviolence includes doing no harm to humans, plants, animals, and nature.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main belief of Jainism is that people can reach spiritual enlightenment through non-violence and reducing harm to all living things. They can do this by never being violent in their thoughts, words, or actions. Historians believe that Jainism began nearly 3, 000 years ago in eastern India.
