Jainism requires a lot of self sacrifice and effort. However, it depends on which sect of Jainism you wish to follow. jainism itself preaches giving utmost care to all living beings and being the best you can be- considering your fellow beings. Though people may not intentionally make people sad or hurt other's feelings, it happens. We are normal human beings who cannot always restrain ourselves to the limitations of Jainism. People who can control themselves practise it, but are very few. If you care to research the principles or beliefs of Jainism you will notice the harsh things they tell the people who practise it to do. (No offense to Jainism or its followers)

This is because of the long history of conversion of Jains into other reigions by the use of force.

Whenever the new rulers came they forced the people to accept their religion. This is a common process which takes place in any country. In India this process is said to have begun with the coming of Aryans in India. Once the majority was converted, propagandas cold be easily created against Jains and their religious practises. This resulted in rising unpopularity of Jainism. History says that Jainism might have been the most popular religion in the Central Asia and some far-off islands. But now, you may rarely find any Jain in these countries.
