There are only around 3000 billionaires in the world, out of which around 300 are of Indian ethnicity, (some reside outside India so don’t get counted as Indian) and out of these, Jains (Gujarati – Marwari) have the highest concentration (out of the tiny 2 million population), and North West Indians (of regions influenced by Free Market culture of Jains the most) have 80% billionaire count of the entire Indians. North – West India here refers to the regions of Gujarat, Marwar/Rajasthan, Sindh and Punjab. The entrepreneurial cultural drive in NW India exists due to proactive efforts of Jains throughout history and their influence on masses and region. The billionaire count numbers also matches the proportional levels of Jain cultural influence currently on these regions: Gujarat + Marwar > Sindh > Punjab. Additionally there are indirect influences also for few Billionaires from South India who initially worked for Jain (Infosys billionaires from Patni) or had relocated to North India from South India (HCL).
The successful gives back to the community, less fortunate ones, and for the welfare of animal life through donations.
Amongst the wealthiest men or maybe the wealthiest men in the world in 16th and 17th century were Jains – Virji Vohra (Gujarati Jain), Shantidas Jhaveri (Marwari – Gujarati Jain), Jagat Seth (Marwari Jain).
The most advanced Tech corporations from India since past : Founder of ISRO (Space agency) – Sarabhai (Gujarati Jain), Founder of HAL(Fighter Jet manufacturing) – Walchand (Gujarati Jain). Also, Founder of Bombay Stock Exchange – Premchand Roychand (Gujarati Jain).
The billionaire count is impressive since its coming from a corrupt bureaucratic country having one of the lowest IQ in the world of 82. Jains have an IQ nearing 120.
Mumbai :
Successful Mumbai based Gujarati Jains are the most Elite and sophisticated Jains. Most of Bombay’s development from the start in 1850 A.D, came through them, including the foundation of Bombay Stock Exchange. The Gujarati population in Bombay was at 28% in 1891 A.D. Elite Mumbai based Gujarati Jains are the best of Jains, and the truest of Jains by Karma. Mumbai to Ahmedabad is the real Jain cultural belt. Gujarati Jains on this belt reflect truer Jain values of compassion, kindness and general mindset of Jains. Relatively, Gujarati Jains have also protected Jain values better than other Jains, and outside of India. Mumbai to Ahmedabad, is also the most financialized and industrialized region in South Asia. Elite Gujarati Hindus are more Jain by their Karma, than even the Jain in other locations who are more unrooted relatively. Gujarati Muslims based in Karachi, Pakistan are the wealthiest Pakistanis. Muslims, Parsis, All caste Hindus have benefitted from the cultural influence of Jains on Gujarat. Gujarati people (outside the rotten apples (sociopaths/evil) and liberal or Hindu nationalist influenced unrooted types, reflect Jain traits – compassionate, helpful nature, kind, peaceful, non – violent, polite, community uplifting and being entrepreneurial; this is even true for Marwari Hindus but to a lesser extent. Some parts of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) are amongst the most civilized regions in South Asia, and then comes Ahmedabad, and then the stretch between Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Mumbai is the city with maximum billionaires in South Asia. Majority of NW origin Jain population resides in the 4 cities – Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Surat and Delhi. The historical and cultural presence and influence of Jains in Sindh and with Sindh bordering Gujarat – Marwar, gives the strong entrepreneurial identity to Indian Sindhi Hindus (a good percentage are Lohanas) who migrated from Sindh in 1947, and also have significant billionaire count.
Gujarati Muslims have the highest wealth concentration in Pakistan. 12/40 of the rich list, with being 4 million or 0.4 % of Pakistan’s population. Gujarati culture is the most Jain influenced culture.
Delhi/NCR :
Delhi has highest billionaire count In South Asian (57 billionaires) after Mumbai (92 billionaires) due to the same Jain and Jain influenced communities of NW India, which comes from mostly Jains, Punjabi Khatri – Arora – Bhatia, Marwari, Rajasthani and Haryanvi Banias. Just like other communities of NW India, Punjabis especially Arora and Khatri clan have benefitted from the entrepreneurial culture influenced by Jains throughout history, giving them billionaire numbers, and they had migrated to Delhi from West Punjab after the creation of Pakistan in 1947, where Jain influences was historically present including specially last in Lahore area. Delhi has the highest Jain population concentration outside of Mumbai – Surat – Ahmedabad belt.
Bengaluru, Pune, Kolkata etc :
There are also some Billionaires also in Bengaluru, and Bengaluru which is in Southern Karnataka and near Tamil Naidu border, had strong Jain influence at a time in history which has shaped the mindset to an extent of the local people that it is economically better developed relatively than rest of India along with the reasons it has NW Indian communities which have migrated in recent times and setup corporations over there. ISRO and HAL are headquartered in Bengaluru. Note that there is a large percentage of local ethnic Jain converts in Maharashtra and South India including Tamil Jains who live in poverty, and they are not related to NW Jains who also reside there, but these NW Jain migrant groups of past are also largely unrooted from their culture, have become local like and don’t have the spark of the current NW Indians.
Pune also has presence of NW Indian communities, and so does Kolkata particularly Marwaris of mostly past migration.
Jain influence kept Marxism away :
The below shows spread of Jainism and the spread of radical Marxism. Jainism kept Marxism away as it also kept Low IQ Conservative influence in check which contributes to masses being swayed by Left wing ideologies.
Much of rest of world lives in poor conditions:
Much of the world lives in poor conditions, as neither they have the IQ, and subsequently nor an evolved culture that High IQ provides to think beyond their nationalism, socialism and bigotry. + Jains also have the highest concentration of millionaires in the world, in their 2 million population. 1950 – 2010 was the era of greatest economic boom in human history.
Near 100 % of Indian economy exists due to influence of Jains. Those who want to hate on Jains out of bigotry and Jealousy, can hate as much as they want; Jain consciousness can handle them. Gdp per Capita of Indian Subcontinent is $2500.
Much of the world is not much civilized and not worthy of living in. Even most mineral rich places are horrible to live in –
Central Asian countries like Turkmenistan are oil rich and failures.
South and Central America is crime riddled and oil rich nations like Venezuela and Guyana are failures
80 IQ Middle East : The only reason UAE, Dubai, Qatar are wealthy due to oil, American control and liberalism and not due to their conservative culture. Other oil rich nations like Iran, Iraq, Algeria, Libya etc have been failures in spite of being oil rich. Israel with IQ of 99 has migrant population and the people are hardly native, so it stands out.
