Apart from India, historians have found evidences of Jainism traditionally being practiced as far west as Middle East and north in Turkmenistan. The decline of Jainism came with Islamic conquests and conversions. At present the only followers left are Indians.

∙ 13y agoAccording to Jains, Jainism is an eternal religion. So, it has no founder and hence is present from eternal time and will even last up to eternity.
But for this period of time, in which we are living, it is believed that Jainism was firstly practiced in its real sense by its first tirthankar, Adinath most probably in INDIA about 5000 years ago.
Yet some evidences related to the foundation of this religion have also been found in Central Asia but still it is accepted that Jainism orginated in India (which may include present day Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal or even Tibet or other south Asian countries).

1. Non- Violence
2. Non- Possessiveness
3. Non-Stealing
4. Celibacy
5. Always speaking the truth
Other important concepts are multiplicity of views and the three jewels are right conduct, right knowledge, and right faith
While there are only 5 million official Jain's, anybody that practices these values is considered to be Jain.
