Sinossi

Jainism regards life to be eternal. Recognizing that the soul can never die, but merely takes a new body, a careful tradition welcoming death through intentional fasting developed more than two thousand years ago. A legal challenge Rajasthan was put forward in 2013, suggesting that this practice is harmful and coercive and targets women in particular. For a short while SallekhanÀ, which means the “thinning of existence,” was declared illegal. In response to this controversy, three conferences were convened by the International School for Jain Studies to explore the legal, religious, and medical aspects of this practice. Experts discussed the long history of the practice, attested to in epigraphs throughout India; the ways in which fasting to death has become an acceptable practice in the Western world; and contemporary instances of its observance in India. This volume presents an interdisciplinary approach to thinking about the end of life, from biomedical, historical, religious, and legal perspectives.

    Unsolved mysteries hold a unique and enduring fascination, inviting us into a world where questions linger and definitive answers seem perpetually out of reach. These enigmas, spanning unexplained deaths, puzzling disappearances, and baffling phenomena, captivate our imagination by defying the order and logic we strive to impose on life. Each unresolved case becomes more than a story; it transforms into a puzzle that teases the intellect and stirs the emotions. 
    At the heart of this allure is humanity’s deep-seated need to seek clarity and understanding. We are instinctively drawn to the unknown, compelled to uncover the truths hidden within layers of ambiguity. An unsolved mystery challenges this instinct, presenting clues that tantalize without fully revealing the whole picture. This tension between the known and the unknown fuels not only curiosity but also creativity, as people generate theories and speculations to fill the void left by unanswered questions. 
    The cultural impact of these mysteries cannot be ignored. Cases that remain unresolved take on lives of their own, evolving from isolated incidents into broader narratives that resonate across time. They inspire discussions, debates, and countless reinterpretations through books, documentaries, and online forums. These stories transcend their origins, becoming collective riddles that unite enthusiasts and experts alike in the pursuit of elusive truths.
