Which place was the most important learning center of the Jain Scholars?

  • A.Madurai
  • B.Trichy
  • C.Tanjore
  • D.Thiruvalangadu

Answer: A

Madurai was the most important learning centre of the Jain scholars, where the Jain Sangam flourished, so option A is the key.

Trichy, Tanjore and Thiruvalangadu were centres of other traditions and are not named as the main Jain centre.

The Jain monks of the Tamil country built their schools in the caves around Madurai, as the Tamil Brahmi inscriptions on the hills nearby show, and the Madurai Sangam is also associated with Jain scholars. Trichy, Tanjore and Thiruvalangadu have no comparable tradition of Jain learning in the key.
