Answer

In Jain cosmology, Europe does not fall in Bharat Kshetra because Bharat Kshetra is a specific cosmic region, not the same as the whole physical Earth as seen on a modern map.

Explanation

According to Jain geography:

• Jambudvīpa is the central continent in the Jain universe.
• Bharat Kshetra is one of the regions within Jambudvīpa.
• It is the land where Tīrthankars are born in this time cycle, according to Jain tradition.

So, when Jain texts speak of Bharat Kshetra, they are describing a cosmological division, not a modern political or continental division like Europe, Asia, or Africa.

That is why modern countries such as European nations are not counted separately as part of Bharat Kshetra in the traditional Jain cosmological framework.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma uses geography to explain karma, time cycles, and the appearance of Tīrthankars, not to give a modern map of the world.

The main purpose is to help us understand:

• where spiritual events occur in this cosmic cycle,
• how the world is divided in Jain cosmology,
• and how rare and valuable a human birth in Bharat Kshetra is considered.

Takeaway

Europe is not included in Bharat Kshetra because Bharat Kshetra is a Jain cosmological region, not a modern geographical continent. If you want, I can also explain Jambudvīpa, Bharat Kshetra, Airavat Kshetra, and Mahāvideh Kshetra in a very simple way.
