Jain Minority Certificate

A question is being asked that How to get a minority certificate? Who will issue a minority certificate etc.

The answer is that there is not a thing named minority certificate. Government of India or any state Government does not issue minority certificate. Moreover, the Government has not given any right to anybody to issue such a certificate. 

Mention of your religion as Jain on your school leaving certificate is the only proof of your being a Jain. So your leaving certificate is your minority certificate.

Beware of the Jain institutions who are issuing minority certificates, they don't have any right to issue it. A Jain institution can issue just a certificate of your being a Jain, not as a minority community member.

Demand of Minority Status for Jains Worthy: RSS Chief

Demand of Minority Status for Jains Worthy: RSS Chief

“Jains are demanding minority status on national level. This demand is worth” This statement is not from any Jain leader, but from the RSS supreme Mohan Bhagwat!

In a function held at Godiji Parshwanath Mandir of Pune, Bhagwat said that Jains should get national minority status as soon as possible.

He was speaking on a question raised by Shripal Lalwani, a member of Arihant Jagruti Munch of Pune. The question was, “If Buddhists and Sikhs have got national minority status, why Jain community yet has not gotten it in spite of a long time demand?”

Bhagwat’s statement given in front of public is very important as Hindutwa people, including some so-called Jains have been always opposed to the minority status of Jain community.
