Of all pauranik literature of Bharat - Jainas have best preserved the most accurate historic and cultural treasure of Bharat - less poetically, more scientifically. Especially on Ayurveda and Mathematics, we shall have a wealth of information from Jaina literature. Need faithful, honest, indigenous scholarly research.

This question is both to Bodhi and Shiv (sengotuvel):
Does/should the hindu narrative include Jaina, Bauddha and Sikh narrative or not?
