Jainism (pronounced in English as /ˈdʒeɪ.nɪzm̩/), traditionally known as Jain Dharma (जैन धर्म) , is a classical religion with its origins in the prehistory of India. The Jains, although a small minority in India now, have continued to sustain the shraman (श्रमण) tradition. Jainism is significantly influential in both the ethical and economic spheres in India. Jainism places great stress on compassion to all living beings. Self-control (व्रत vrata in Sanskrit) forms a central part of being a Jain.
Goals for the WikiProject Jainism include:
- Keeping the main article up to good quality, NPOV, and comprehensiveness.
- Tagging all articles relating to Jainism with the {{WikiProject Jainism}} and assisting in the assessment of the project's articles.
- Improving Jainism or any Jainism related pages.
- Adding all articles that fall within the scope of this project to the page Wikipedia:WikiProject Jainism/Articles by category.
- Checking the recent changes for any recent improvements, other changes, or vandalism to those articles.
- Checking the Category:Jainism articles needing attention for articles requiring immediate attention.
- Adding new Jainism articles and content.
- Keeping the WikiProject Jainism project alive and active.
