This refers to the photo feature 'Plain Jains' which was published in this newspaper on February 1, 2012.
This newspaper had no intention to hurt the sensibilities/sentiments of any community.

The Photo Feature was, in fact, published to highlight the extreme hardship undertaken by Jain sadhus and sadhvis in their quest for peace and harmony.

Some of the captions that accompanied the pictures were inadvertent errors. We unreservedly apologise for the anguish caused to the Jain community.
