I was shocked to learn that the Institute of Jainology had given their Ahimsa Award to Prince Charles during his recent visit to the Jain temple in Potters Bar.
I don't quite see under what sense this award was given to a man who supports blood sport and indulges in pheasant and deer shooting.
What were the Institute's people thinking? It seems they have not quite understood the meaning of Ahimsa. In their desire to appease the Prince they have devalued the Ahimsa Award.
