Major Religions (that still exist in some form): Hinduism - 2000 BC Judaism - 1500 BC Zoroaster - 620 BC Janism - 600 BC Taoism - 580 BC Confusious - 550 BC Buddhism - 524 BC Christianity - 30 AD Shinto - 100 AD Islam - 570 AD Sikhism - 1530 AD Baha'u'llah - 1890 AD These are all approximate dates (especially pre-Christian) and hotly disputed, bnu the chronology is pretty much right. When does a religion start? On the birth of the "holy man"? With his/her first convert? After death? First "church"? See, it can be difficult to pin a tail on such a donkey.

It is true in Jainism.And to some extent true in Hinduism too.HINDUISM AND CODE OF CONDUCT:Hinduism doesn't have any code of conduct. Some Hindus think that Hinduism too should have a code of conduct like other religions, which would not only make all Hindus equal but also unite them.Hinduism is made of opposite elements in equilibrium. Thus, code of conduct for Brahmanas and Shudras is just the opposite.THE BRAHMANA CODE OF CONDUCT:Brahmanas live under ideal conditions. Therefore, they are not supposed to injure others, tell lies and steal. However, they must have all their wealth as assets, and not as cash, because they are supposed to lead an eternal way of life.THE SHUDRA CODE OF CONDUCT:Shudra Varna is meant for survival. They can injure others, tell lies and can steal, provided they do these just for survival. However, they are not supposed to own property because their way of life is transient.
The leader or founder of Jainism was Adinatha. Traditionally, Jainism is known as Jaina dharma. It is a religion that emphasizes equality between all forms of life and spiritual independence.
The goal of Jainism is to attain moksha (enlightenment). This is done by observing the five 'Great Vows': non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-materialism.
