Yes. In Jainism, any person can follow Jain Dharma, because Jain teachings are based on soul, conduct, and liberation, not birth, caste, or social status.

A person from any background, including a Dalit, can:

• practice Ahimsa, Satya, Aparigraha
• observe Jain vows
• study Jain scriptures
• visit Jain temples
• live as a Jain follower

In the Jain path, purity of conduct matters more than birth. Some communities may have social customs, but those are not the core principle of Jainism.

So the spiritual answer is: yes, a Dalit can join Jainism.
