  • Shikharji movement was a campaign by Jains to protest against state government's project related to the development of infrastructure on the hill of Shikharji considered sacred by the Jains. The movement was initiated by Jain monk Yugbhushan Suri against recent infrastructure development initiated by the existing Government's actions, which Jains believe, has severely affected the sanctity of the Shikharji Hill. This Movement is unitedly led by Jains of all sects (Shwetambara, Digambara, Sthanakvasi and Terapanthi). Through this movement, the Jains want the Shikharji Hill declared as a 'Place Of Worship', by the concerned authorities of the Govt. Shikharji Tirth is regarded as the most sacred place of worship for the Jains. Jains opposed the plans of the state government to improve the infrastructure in the hill to boost tourism as alleged attempts to commercialize the Shikharji hill. On 26 October 2018, the Government of Jharkhand issued an official memorandum declaring the Shikharji hill as a 'place of worship'. (en)
