Removing the following para:
"Buddhists and Jains were a powerful minority and had to face constant persecution from their Hindu rulers. Saiva religious texts such as Periyapuranam document one such persecution of Jains in Madurai by the Pandya king when he ordered the execution of scores of Buddhists by impaling them."
There are several issues with the above:
1. There is no citation! 2. The Paragraph is self-contradictory. It confuses Jains with Buddhists. 3. There is no corroborating evidence from within Jain and/or Buddhist literature of any kind of persecution from the Pandyas.
