But before the partition of indo- pak sub in 1947, Lahore was a cosmopolitan city with Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Jains amounting to 48% of the city’s population.Many Jain shrines can still be found scattered across Pakistan. Memorable evidence of presence of Jainism in the Indus Valley Civilization, can be found, which existed in Pakistan and northwestern India. Other archaeological evidences belonging to the Indus Valley Civilization of the Bronze Age in the India also lend support to the hoary antiquity of the Jaina tradition and suggest the prevalence of the practice of worship of Rsabha- deva, the 1st Tirthankara along with the worship of other deities.
