Hi Armaan,
I saw that your favourite dish is junglee mutton which is in non – veg category. I request you to please ask wiki team to delete the same as you are belong to Jain community and we Jain do not eat non- veg. If you eat the same personally I have no issue. But in public platform it might hurt our culture. Think. Sorry my words hurts you.

Please remove the word Jain from your name, because jains do not eat non vegetarian food. I don’t have any issue regarding it but please don’t insult the Jain community by using Jain as your surname.
Kindly clear your surname status and remove jain word from ur surname and jain community from your article . By name u may be jain but by your deeds u r not bcoz jain don’t eat nonveg at all . To eat nonveg is your personal choice but our jain religion don’t allow to give status of Jainism who eat nonveg so kindly remove jain surname and jain community from your article . Please
Please either remove mutton or Jain. We don’t have issue with ur personal choice, at the same time pls respect our sentiments as well.
Yes you are all correct, that jains are vegetarian. But he is nonvegetarian and insulting the Jain community

Dear Aadar, the word Jain is not a surname. It denotes to the world that the person flaunting the ‘surname’ firmly believes in the principles of non violence and is a vegetarian. Earnest request you stop flaunting it as a surname if you wish to continue your present lifestyle because it gives a wrong impression to the world & is an insult to the Jain way of life.
