Ethical Diaries-4
The concept of "ahimsa" or non-violence is central to Indian philosophy, particularly in Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.
In Indian civilization, killing another being is generally considered wrong, and taking the life of a human being is considered one of the most serious crimes. However, there are some exceptions to this rule in certain circumstances, such as in cases of self-defense or in the context of war.
In Hinduism, the concept of "dharma" or duty is also important, and there are certain situations where taking the life of another being may be seen as necessary to fulfill one's duty. For example, in the epic Mahabharata, Lord Krishna advises Arjuna to fight and kill his enemies in battle because it is his duty as a warrior.
However, it's important to note that even in such situations, the taking of life is not celebrated or glorified in Indian civilization. Rather, it is seen as a difficult decision that must be made with careful consideration and only when all other options have been exhausted.
