Virchand Gandhi

Virachand Gandhi (Gujarati: વીરચંદ ગાંધી; Hindi: वीरचंद गाँधी) (25 August 1864 – 7 August 1901) was a Jain scholar who represented Jainism at the first World Parliament of Religions in 1893. A barrister by profession, he worked to defend the rights of Jains, and wrote and lectured extensively on Jainism, other religions, and philosophy.
==Background and early accomplishments==

Gandhi was born in Mahuva, Gujarat, India on 1864.〔 His father, Raghavji Tejpalji Gandhi, was a businessman.〔〔(Virachand Gandhi )〕 A polyglot who reputedly spoke fourteen languages, Gandhi was educated as a lawyer.〔〔 In 1885, at the age of 21, he became the first honorary secretary of the Jain Association of India.〔
During his term, he fought against a tax being levied by the ruler of Princely State of Palitana on pilgrims visiting Mount Shatrunjaya, Palitana.〔 During the course of this fight Gandhi met Lord Reay, the British colonial governor of Bombay, and Colonel John Watson of the Kathiawar Agency. With the help of these two individuals, he ultimately negotiated an annual fixed payment of Rs. 15000, rather than an individual tax on each pilgrim.〔
Gandhi also fought to close a pig slaughterhouse that had been started in 1891 close to Mount Shikharji, a holy place of Jain pilgrimage. Gandhi spent six months in Calcutta learning Bengali and preparing his case against the slaughterhouse. He was eventually successful in getting the slaughterhouse closed.〔
