In jain history, is there any part where jains has to go for war for safety of their land?

In Jain history you do not find a religious teaching or tradition that tells Jains to go to war, even for protection of land. Jain dharma is very clear: ahimsa (non‑violence) is the highest vow, and ideally even self‑defence is to be minimized and done without hatred.

But historically, many Jains lived as kings, ministers, generals, and soldiers in different kingdoms. So we see two parallel things:

1. Jain Dharma (ideal principle)

- Ahimsa is a mahavrata for monks and a major vow for laypeople. - Scriptures and acharyas repeatedly discourage violence, war, and killing for territory, power, or revenge. - The ideal Jain way is: - protect dharma by preaching, compassion, and patience - if needed, accept loss of wealth, land or even one’s own life, but do not kill others.

1. Jains in Political History (practical reality)

- Some Jain rulers and ministers were part of armies and wars because they were running kingdoms (e.g., in Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan etc.). - When their kingdoms were attacked, wars obviously happened. In those wars, many participants were Jains or Jain‑influenced. - But these are political events, not “Jain wars” done in the name of Jain religion. The religion itself never prescribes “fighting to save land” as a dharmic duty.

So, to answer simply:

• Yes, Jains as people have been involved in wars for safety of their kingdoms/lands at different times in Indian history.
• No, Jain dharma itself does not have a concept like “holy war” or “religious war”, and does not sanction war as a religious duty. The pure Jain viewpoint always puts ahimsa above land, power, or even personal safety.
