Question

In which of the following religions was the agriculture prohibited for its followers?

• A. Buddhism
• B. Shaivism
• C. Jainism
• D. Vaishnavism

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Jainism

• Agriculture is traditionally prohibited for practicing Jains because it involves harming small organisms, such as insects, worms, and microorganisms present in the soil, during tilling, ploughing, and harvesting. • The act of farming is seen as inherently violent, as it inevitably leads to the unintentional killing of numerous tiny life forms.
