Jainism in Belgium
text:
The Jains in Belgium are estimated to be around about 1,500 people. The majority live in Antwerp, working in the wholesale diamond business. Belgian Indian Jains control two-thirds of the rough diamonds trade and supplied India with roughly 36% of their rough diamonds. They have built building a major temple in Wilrijk, with a cultural centre, which was consecrated in 2010. The Jain community in Europe, especially in Belgium, is mostly involved in the diamond business.
