India

Ahimsa is the practice of nonviolence. It is a prominent Hindu belief that you should respond to violence without vengnce, and to peacefully resolve the conflict. This is similar to the idea of turning the other cheek. It is thought that retaliation is bad, and that you should forgive, or ignore violence brought upon you. Many famous people like Martian Luther King Jr, and Ghandi have used this for peacefull protest.
