Is Jain's belongs to Baniya community?
No, surely not.Jainism is a religion or dharma while Baniya is the name of a community. The word Baniya has originated from the word Vanik which in ancient times was used to refer to Traders or business class community. Even when Britishers came to India they were referred to as Baniya as they came to India as traders.Since most of the Jains in Gujarat were involved in business activities in previous times, they were referred to as Vanik and later on Baniya.
