POPULAR PRACTICES UNDER JAINISM Sallekhana – It is a religious practice of voluntarily fasting to death by gradually reducing the intake of food and liquids. It is not considered as a suicide by Jain scholars because it is not an act of passion, nor does it deploy poisons or weapons. It can be performed by both Jain ascetics and householders. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect. In 2015, the Rajasthan High Court banned the practice, considering it suicide. Later that year, the Supreme Court of India stayed the decision of the Rajasthan High Court and lifted the ban on Sallekhana. Pratikraman – It is a process during which Jains repent for their sins during their daily life, and remind themselves not to repeat them. The five types of Pratikaman include Devasi, Rayi, Pakhi, Chaumasi and Samvatsari.
