The Digambar community, into which I was born, is a very strict Jain sect.
I believe Digambar rituals are difficult to follow in today's western society and do not observe them fully now, though I do always start my day with a prayer at home, something that I feel gets me off on a superb start to the day.
I fear that the majority of the next generation of Jains in the West are not interested in the Jain religion, which may lead to the dilution of the principles, practice and rituals of Jainism.

Though Congress leader K Natwar Singh is a veteran of many electoral battles, the BJP's Dr Digambar Singh poses a serious threat to him, particularly since the Bharatpur royal family is supporting it.
Deepa's supporters, for their part, are confident that the very fact that neither Viswendra Singh (who had won the seat in 1989), Arun Singh or Divya is contesting would fetch them all the Jat votes.
Thus, with the 100,000-odd Jat votes getting split between Digambar Singh and Deepa, diplomat-turned-politician Natwar Singh's best bet is the Muslims and scheduled castes.
