India is not merely the Home of the Hindus.
Hinduism has given birth to two great Religions,Jainism and Buddhism.
Though these two Religions were initially founded against the Vedic School of Thought, it is a fact that they are included as a part of Hindu tradition.
In fact they are regarded as the nastika sect of Hinduism, meaning one which does not accept the Vedas as the authority.
Most of the essentials of Jainism and Buddhism are from Hinduism.
A separate post follows on this.
It is our responsibility to preserve these monuments and promote them as a part of our heritage.
Jains and Buddhists have contributed a lot to Indian Culture and Literature.
I am providing a list of Jain Temples and historical sites.
The list is not complete.
