Jain Dharma does not support or accept this idea at all.

From a Jain point of view:

1. No one is “inferior” or “superior” by birth

- Jainism teaches all souls (jīvas) are fundamentally equal. - Differences of body, color, caste, nation, “race,” or religion are only karmic circumstances, not indicators of higher or lower worth. - A soul in an Indian body today may take birth in a European body later, or in any other form. The soul is the same; only the outer dress changes.

1. Genetics and body are just matter (pudgal)

- According to Jain philosophy, the body (including genes, skin color, physical traits) is made of pudgal. - Pudgal is temporary and changing; it has no spiritual superiority or inferiority. - What matters in Jainism is right faith, right knowledge, right conduct (samyak-darshan, samyak-jnān, samyak-chāritra), not one’s DNA.

1. Superiority in Jainism = spiritual purity, not race or religion

- A person is “higher” only in the sense of being more free from anger, pride, deceit, greed, attachment, aversion. - A Jain who is full of hatred is spiritually lower than any person—Christian, Muslim, atheist, or anyone—who is full of compassion and self-control. - So, by Jain standards, thinking in terms of racial superiority itself is a sign of spiritual downfall (mithyātva, mān, dveṣa).

1. Violent and insulting speech is also hiṁsā

- Jainism teaches that harsh, insulting, hateful speech is a form of violence (vāg-hiṁsā). - Speaking or thinking of others as “inferior” because of birth or genetics creates heavy bad karma. - Even if no physical injury is caused, the intention of contempt or hatred is spiritually harmful.

1. Anekāntavād: many-sided truth, respect for all

- Jain doctrine of anekāntavād teaches us to see multiple perspectives and avoid one-sided, rigid, fanatical views. - Racism and genetic superiority theories are extreme ekānta (one-sidedness) and are not compatible with Jain philosophy.

1. Jain conduct ideal: friendship with all beings

The famous bhāvnā (reflection): - Maitrī bhāvnā – friendship toward all beings - Pramod bhāvnā – joy in others’ good qualities - Karuṇā bhāvnā – compassion for those in suffering None of these allow room for, “X group is inferior by genetics.”

In simple words, from a properly Jain perspective:

• No “pajeet,” no “white,” no “Christian,” no “Jain” is genetically superior or spiritually guaranteed higher by birth.
• Every soul is on a long journey. Today someone may be in ignorance; tomorrow they may be spiritually great.
• True Jain practice is to remove ego, hatred, and contempt, not to justify them with theories of race.

So the statement that “Jains are inferior to Christian Whites due to genetics” is completely against Jain Dharma, philosophically and ethically.
