Jainist Theocracy is a school of thought that believes Jainism to be the main religion of a nation. Jainism is a Dharmic religion, believing the path to enlightenment is through nonviolence and reducing harm to living things (including plants and animals) as much as possible. Like Hindus and Buddhists, Jains believe in reincarnation. This cycle of birth, death, and rebirth is determined by one's karma.

According to Digambara Jains, there are seven ''tattvas'': the sentient (''jiva'' or living), the insentient (''ajiva'' or non-living), the karmic influx to the soul (''Āsrava'', which is a mix of living and non-living), the bondage of karmic particles to the soul (''Bandha''), the stoppage of karmic particles (''Saṃvara''), the wiping away of past karmic particles (''Nirjarā''), and the liberation (''Moksha''). Śvētāmbaras add two further ''tattvas'', namely good karma (''Punya'') and bad karma (''Paapa'').
