Although the Jains have a religious history spanning two-and-a-half millennia Western scholars have shown little interest in them until recently. Drawing on fieldwork conducted among Jains in Gujarat State, India and Leicester, England, Marcus Banks aims to provide an understanding of contemporary Jain identity through an examination of their organizations.
