Jain began his career in journalism in 1948 with the News Chronicle.

1950

In 1950, he shifted to The Times of India where he worked as a sub-editor.

1951

He married Sudarshan Jain in 1951.

They had a son and three daughters, including the historian Meenakshi Jain and the columnist Sandhya Jain.

Sunil Jain, his son, was a journalist, who was the managing-editor of the Financial Express.

1958

Later, he shifted to reporting and became Chief Reporter in 1958.

Besides Delhi, he served for the newspaper from Karachi and London.

1978

He served as the editor of The Times of India from 1978 until 1988.

He advocated establishing old glory and re establishing the great tenets of Hinduism aligned with nationalism and authored books on the subject, the best known of which, The Hindu Phenomenon, was published posthumously.

Later, Jain served as the Editor-in-Chief of The Times of India from 1978-88.

Khushwant Singh wrote that, towards the end of his career, Girilal Jain's writings showed a "distinct anti-Muslim, anti-Sikh and anti-Christian bias."

Jain was reportedly fired as the editor of the Times of India as a result of his alleged Hindutva sympathies.

After retirement, he wrote on the core issues of pre independence and post partition suffering of Hindus and penned the book The Hindu Phenomenon which was edited and published by his daughter Meenakshi Jain posthumously.

Girilal Jain welcomed the movement for the Ram Temple at Ayodhya as part of the process of long lost justice for Hindus.

He believed that the political-economic order that Jawaharlal Nehru had fashioned was as much in its last throes as its progenitor, the Marxist–Leninist-Stalinist order.

He believed that the two major planks of this order, secularism and socialism, have "lost much of their old glitter" while the third, non-alignment, has become redundant.

According to him, the concept of nation is alien to Hindu temperament and genius; for it emphasized the exclusion of those who did not belong to the charmed circle (territorial, linguistic or ethnic) as much as it emphasized the inclusion of those who fell within the circle.

By contrast, the essential spirit of Hinduism was inclusivist, and not exclusivist, by definition.

Such a spirit must seek to abolish and not build boundaries.

That is why, he held, that Hindus could not sustain an anti-Muslim feeling, except temporarily and, that too only under provocation.

1989

The government of India awarded him the civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan in 1989.

He is accused by Congressional records of being vituperative towards Sikhs in editorial named "De-Turbaning of Sikhs".
