Answer

No. All Jains should not describe their religion as “Kshatriya Jain”.

The religion is simply Jain Dharma or Jainism. A person may say:

• I am Jain.
• My religion is Jainism.
• I follow Jain Dharma.

Explanation

Kshatriya is a varna/social classification, not the name of the religion.

It is true that the Tirthankars, including Bhagwan Mahavir, are traditionally described as being born in Kshatriya royal families. However, Jain Dharma itself is not limited to Kshatriyas.

Jain Dharma is based on:

• Ahimsa
• Anekant
• Aparigraha
• Right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct
• Liberation of the soul

A Jain may belong to different communities, regions, castes, or family backgrounds, but their religion remains Jain.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, the soul is not defined by caste, birth, or social status. Spiritual progress depends on one’s conduct, purity, self-control, and right understanding.

So adding “Kshatriya” as part of the religion can create confusion, because Jain Dharma is universal and centered on the soul, not on caste identity.

Takeaway

The correct religious identity is Jain or Jain Dharma, not “Kshatriya Jain” for all Jains.
