Some jains are only vegetarians but some strong believers are vegans.
They don't even eat potatoes because they don't want to hurt any insect.
Jains abstain from eating fish, meat and some vegetables based on the principle of non violence to all living creatures.
Jains are strict vegetarians who eat all fruits and vegetables except root vegetables that grow underground. This includes Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Carrots, Raddish and other tubers because tiny life forms are injured when the plant is pulled up and because the bulb is seen as a living being, as it is able to sprout.
Many Jains also support the idea of veganism, as the production of dairy involves significant violence against cows. Jains also avoid foods that have been fermented overnight because they are considered 'stale'.
Do Jains believe in after life?
Jains believe in cycling through birth and rebirth. However their take on things is a little different from most religions that believe this. Not only can you be reincarnated into the earthly realm, but also into their layers of heaven and hells. You are not permanently stuck in hell, once you die there, you may be reincarnated back into the earthly realm. Where you go depends on your karma. Moksha (the end of the cycling through birth and rebirth) comes when one finds enlightenment, like the tirthankaras. In addition, you cannot attain Moksha until you have been a man in at least one of your lives. The layers of heaven and hell consist of... # The supreme abode: This is located at the top of the universe and is where Siddha, the liberated souls, live. # The upper world: 30 heavens where celestial beings live. # Middle world: the earth and the rest of the universe. # Nether world: 7 hells with various levels of misery and punishments # The Nigoda, or base: where the lowest forms of life reside # Universe space: layers of clouds which surround the upper world # Space beyond: an infinite volume without soul, matter, time, medium of motion or medium of rest.

Is Brahmacharya the absolute control of all the senses?
YES. (It's about controlling your own senses NOT someone elses :) )
Technically Brahmacharya means chastity in thought, speech & action. It does involves controlling (or regultaing so to speak) the senses but by suppression or repression. And absolute control can be achieved after mastering brahmacharya. You see, the mind is the region of lust & the mind too is the chief of all senses & hence controlling the mind will evetually lead to controlling of the senses.
I hope that helps,
Swapnil.
