Would it be possible for a Jainist state to arrise out of India? Could some King adopt it as a state religion without giving up the ability to raise an army since Jainism rejects violence? Could there be a powerful Monastary system for Jains in India similar to the Christian or buddhist monastarial system as in Japan and Europe?
this all rests on the fact that I am ignorant as to whether there was a jainist state or not.
