jain comes under which caste category
In Jainism, “Jain” is not a caste – it is a religion (Dharma).
- Jain means a follower of Jain Dharma, not a member of any fixed caste.
- Jains can come from many social communities (Oswal, Porwal, Agarwal, Khandelwal, etc.). These are community/jāti names, not one single “Jain caste” for everyone. ( jainknowledge.com)
- Spiritually, Jain scriptures teach that all souls are equal and progress depends on karma and effort, not on birth or caste.
So, to your question “Jain comes under which caste category?”:
- Religiously: Jain = a separate religion, not a caste.
- Socially (in India): Jains may belong to different trading or regional communities, but these are social labels, not part of Jain spiritual doctrine.
