The Jain community had to protest on a large scale to save the Sammed Shikhar against the arbitrary attitude of the government, when the Sammed Shikhar was handed over to the Jains during the Mughal Emperor Akbar's reign.
In 1592 AD, Akbar issued an order to hand over Sammed Shikhar to the Jains, in which it was also said that no one should hunt at this holy place.
Seth Hiranand Mukeem, a personal of the Mughal emperor Jahangir, led a party from Agra to Shikharji for a Jain pilgrimage.
1698 Aurangzeb Alamgir made Sammed Shikhar tax free Aurangzeb Alamgir provided land for Shatrunjay, Girnar and Mount Abu, Jains are also having to fight for Shatrunjay Parvat in Gujarat.
In 1681, Aurangzeb built a monastery (Poshala) for Jain Muni Lal Vijay and also provided tax-free land for the monastery. In 1703, he also ordered the protection of Jain Muni Jin Chandra Suri.
All these things are not in the air like WhatsApp University, but these things are recorded in the pages of history, these decrees are still present in Kashi and Kamakhya temples.
