Jagdish Chandra Jain, born
on 20 January 1909, was a scholar, indologist, educationist, writer, and
freedom fighter during the freedom struggle of India. He authored over 80 books
on a variety of subjects, including Jain philosophy, Prakrit literature, and
Hindi textbooks for children. Jain was the chief prosecution witness in
Gandhi's murder trial. He repeatedly tried to warn the government of the
conspiracy to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi, which became known to him after Madan
Lal Pahwa, a Punjabi refugee and one of the conspirators of the murder of
Mahatma Gandhi, confided to him of their plan. Jain's attempts to warn the
government met deaf ears. He recounted his personal experiences in two books: I
Could Not Save Bapu and The Forgotten Mahatma.
