Why is Bishnoi community famous?

The Bishnoi community is a religious and environmental protection community, founded by Guru Jambheshwar Ji (also known as Guru Jamboji) in the 15th century. This society is mainly found in Rajasthan, Haryana and North-West India. The teachings of Vishnoi Samaj are based on environmental protection, protection of animals and social harmony. Bishnoi Samaj was founded by Guru Jambheshwar Ji in 1485 AD at Samrathal Dham in Bikaner district of Rajasthan. Guru Jamboji presented a list of 29 rules, which he called “Bish” and “Noi” (ie 29), and hence the name of the society “Bishnoi”. The purpose of these rules was to adopt a balanced and non-violent lifestyle, dedicated to the protection of nature and living beings.

This is the reason why this society has been carrying on this enmity for black deer for the last 26 years. They have made many sacrifices to protect the environment over the centuries. The most famous incident among these is the “Khejadli Sacrifice” in 1730 AD, in which 363 Vishnoi women and men sacrificed their lives to save the Khejadi trees from being cut. This incident remains a source of inspiration for environmental protection across the world. The life of Vishnoi community is based on non-violence and simple living. Their rules guide towards a non-violent and pure life, thereby creating a healthy and moral society. People of Vishnoi community also take special care of water resources and other natural resources. They do not allow wastage of water in their area and try to conserve it.
