The Jains

Soul Search - A podcast by ABC Radio - Sundays

One of the oldest religions in India, Jainism extols the virtue of non-violence (ahimsa), a concept popularised in the 20th century by Gandhi as a non-violent tool for mass action. We’ll meet a Jain couple, hear from historian William Dalrymple, and explore the crossover between Jainism and other faiths.
