A very short guide to basics of jainism

This gives you an idea of when and how jainism started but doesn't tell you any further. Consider this the first step in learning about the great teachings of non cioenc

Lack of Research

It give a brief intro to Jainism but have many wrong information. Author needs to undergo a proper research before publishing the book.
