Historical Geography. 1900. India. Speaking generally, the Jains are a rich community engaged in banking and wholesale commerce. They practise a strict morality, and so scrupulously regard the vital principle that, not content with being vegetarians, they strain all the water they drink through a cloth to avoid destruction of insects it might contain and sweep the ground before sitting down lest they should crush some immortal soul.
