Was lonka shah right

Lonkā Śāh was right in some reform points, and disputed in others, depending on Jain tradition.

• He strongly emphasized simple, scripture-centered Jain practice.
• He opposed some practices he believed were later additions, especially image worship and certain ritual forms.
• His followers later formed the Sthānakvāsī tradition, which accepted non-idolatry and a more austere path.

From the viewpoint of Mūrtipūjaka Śvetāmbars, his rejection of mūrti-pūjā is not accepted. They hold that image worship is a valid Jain practice rooted in tradition and devotion.

So, in Jain context, it is more accurate to say:

• He was a sincere reformer
• His views were accepted by some Jains
• His views were rejected by others

Therefore, whether he was “right” depends on which Jain tradition’s standpoint you follow.
