A January 2016 Centre for Policy Studies India blog post compiling the Census of India's Jain population figures for 2001 (4,225,053, 0.41 percent of the population) and 2011 (4,451,753, 0.37 percent), showing the Jain share of India's population falling even as the raw count rose.

Reliability Tier3
A policy-research blog compiling the Registrar General of India's own Census of India religion-community tables for both the 2001 and 2011 counts side by side; the figures themselves are the government census's, read here at one remove rather than from the Registrar General's own C-1 table release, which returned an access-denied response when checked directly.
