It was the kings who started it, because they became too much into meat eating, drunker revelry, and even illicit sex. So they want to keep a check on themselves. Though, people say it was an of shoot of vedic shramanic tradition, and some even say that it was against high lord impositions(BRAHMANISM), though I am not sure. Besides, today it is largely followed by trader class of India. these people control business, evade taxes, promote vegetarianism.

ΔιαμονδThese are the people who talk about praciticing self restraint, but would go to a temple in a BMW in India, would donate 1 LAKH-5 LAKH INR but there would be lot of beggars outside of the temple.

And all hindus should be termed as jains, as they are neither warriors, shun meat, alcohol and tobacoo.

Not just jainism, even the so called brahmanism is now worshipping idols, keeping fast, though I have not come across any such things in vedas. Vedic people are fierce warriors.

Does anyone knows about the etmology of word "Ahimsa", which is the basic principle of Jainism? Ahimsa(non-violence) is mentioned in the ancient vedas and upanishads, and also in the ancient epic Mahabharatha. Jainism is considered to be an ancient religion as well, and its influence upon Hinduism is likely in this regard. Ahimsa is also part of the Yama-Niyamas, which is the ethical code of conduct for a yogi, where it is listed with Satya(truth), asteya(non-stealing), Miunknownra (moderation), Kshama (patience-forgiveness), Daya (compassion). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YamasThe best known saying regarding Ahimsa is, ' Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah' -- 'Nonviolence is the greatest virtue.'It means that the greatest good comes out of nonviolence.
