In a history class on Jainism, children of class VII and I had discussed the five vows of Jainism(Non- violence, speaking the truth, Not to steal, chastity, detachment) and the austere practices that devoted Jains follow even today. Wanting to evaluate their application skills, I posed a question which ran like this,What occupations do you think the Jains would not follow and why? A student’s response was , “Jains would not be in business because being in business implies telling lies”
