However, from the 1951 census onwards, the Jain population has experienced growth, reaching approximately 4.5 million in the 2011 census. Despite its relatively small numbers, the Jain community today is spread across all states and union territories in India, with a particularly strong presence in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi. Known for its significant role in trade, this community has overcome the odds, surviving and flourishing despite its challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis anthology, edited by Prakash C. Jain, brings together ten insightful chapters written by distinguished experts, who trace the demographic journey of the Jain population from 1881 to 2011. The book analyzes various socio-demographic issues such as urbanization, inter-state migration, low fertility rates, skewed gender ratios, and the contrasting phenomenon of high literacy alongside low work participation rates, especially among Jain women. Moreover, the book also covers the Jain diaspora abroad and highlights the under-enumeration of the Jain population in Delhi during the 2011 census.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor scholars, researchers, and general readers interested in understanding the changing dynamics of the Jain community, this book serves as a comprehensive resource, consolidating important census data and offering deep insights into the community’s growth, challenges, and prospects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ Prakash C.
