Is Digambara sect losing its prevalence?
Why the one sect of the same religion is highly taken in consideration while the another one is ignored like it never existed? Yeah! I’m talking about the two sects of the same religion, Jainism which are Digambara and another one is Shwetambara which I guess do not follow Jain principles in pure form but is highly patronised everywhere when it comes to the surfing something related to Jainism on internet for example if you’re going to search “Paryushan Parva" on Google then as a highly recommended result it will show the duration on Shwetambara’s Paryushan parva (the related image is attached along with this article for concern) or if you’re gonna read about Jainism in school books then hardly you’ll come across Digambara but the prevalence of Shwetambara sect is done in vast manner. Although, they miss even the key philosophy of Jainism and made vast changes in main doctrines and spreading the kinda somewhat illogical principles everywhere which is always accepted hand in hand by the government as well . It can be said quite hard time for Digambaras to remain ignored since long and our altered philosophies are nowadays studying by the world and all because of our ignorance. Well, for how long can you accept the pseudo fact written in study books that Lord Mahavira was married to Yashodhara? And there’re alot of facts are prevalent nowadays by Shwetambara’s but what about Digambara’s philosophy? Until when we’re gonna remain ignored by modern generations since it’s our fault that we’re gnawing everything whether true or false but we shall come forward so the world can able to understand our sect.
I’m heartily sorry if my words hurt someone.
Thank you

P.s. These are my own thoughts which were scripted not to hurt someone’s instinct but an appeal to take another sect (Digambara) in consideration.
