are jains khastriyes

Short answer: No. Jains are not defined as a single caste or varna. Jainism welcomes people from many social backgrounds, and spiritual progress in Jainism is not determined by birth or caste.

Key points:

• Caste or varna (like Kshatriya, Brahmin, etc.) is a social label, not a measure of spiritual worth in Jainism.
• Both Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions emphasize right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, not birth-based status.
• Some Jain communities have origin stories or historical links to Kshatriya lineages, but today they are Jain communities (e.g., Oswal, Porwal, Agarwal, etc.) and do not belong to a separate Jain “caste” in religious terms.
