Nonviolent acts of protest and persuasion are symbolic actions performed by a group of people to show their support or disapproval of something. The goal of this kind of action is to bring public awareness to an issue, persuade or influence a particular group of people, or to facilitate future nonviolent action.

Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is the mightiest weapon devised by ingenuity of Man, Mahatma Gandhi said. Tibetan spiritual guru the Dalai Lama has said that religions emphasise on the importance of compassion, a tool to curb violence. Men kill men in the name of religion.

Nonviolence a historic power to defend civil rights Nonviolence is a concept, which has its roots within religions such as Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and could be defined as a philosophical and strategy way of actions and ideas to achieve social or/and political change with the rejects of violence.

The Gandhian concept of nonviolence is not merely confined to resisting the practice of violence. It involves removal of hatred, animosity, revengefulness and any thought of violence from the mind. Non-violence is an expression of tremendous power of mind and soul over brute force.

The nine types of generic nonviolence described below are: non-resistance, active reconciliation, moral resistance, selective nonviolence, passive resistance, peaceful resistance, nonviolent direct action, satyagraha, and nonviolent revolution. These are listed roughly in the order of increasing activity.

Gandhian nonviolence has affected global culture in four ways. First, it changed for the better aspects of the political culture of particular countries. In India, for example, it influenced the manner in which colonialism was brought to an end and a new political philosophy introduced.

According to Kaneda, the term Ahimsa is an important spiritual doctrine shared by Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. It literally means ‘non-injury’ and ‘non-killing’. It implies the total avoidance of harming of any kind of living creatures not only by deeds, but also by words and in thoughts.

Jain theology

Ahimsa, (Sanskrit: “noninjury”) in the Indian religions of Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, the ethical principle of not causing harm to other living things. In Jainism, ahimsa is the standard by which all actions are judged.

The Non-cooperation movement was withdrawn after the Chauri Chaura incident. Although he had stopped the national revolt single-handedly, on 10 March 1922, Mahatma Gandhi was arrested. On 18 March 1922, he was imprisoned for six years for publishing seditious materials.

Ahimsa means non-injury. Jains consider nonviolence to be the most essential duty for everyone (ahinsā paramo dharmaḥ). It is an indispensable condition for liberation from the cycle of reincarnation, the ultimate goal of Jainism. The aim of ahimsa is to prevent the accumulation of such karma.

Jains believe that the only way to save one’s own soul is to protect every other soul, and so the most central Jain teaching, and the heart of Jain ethics, is that of ahimsa (non-violence). In practical terms the biggest part that ahimsa plays in the lives of lay Jains today is in the regulation of their diet.

If you know one thing about the form of worship known as Jainism, it’s probably that Jains don’t kill insects. Many Jain monks and nuns even wear fabric over their mouths to avoid breathing in insects or microbes, and sweep ahead of themselves while walking to avoid treading on bugs.

Originally Answered: Is it a sin to kill an insect? No, it is not. The difference between Man and animal is that Man was made to God’s own image and likeness, which means Man has a spiritual soul, capable of knowing and loving God, and is immortal. No animal has this.

Many would view it as killing pests/threats to humans so no sin in it. As long as it wasn’t done for sport, but perceived current or future harm, most religions allow it. Many also would discourage wanton killing of at least some, if they are not a threat. I know Islam forbids killing bees and ants.

If you’re just killing it because you think it’s “gross”, or you’re spraying it with hairspray to see it squirm, or anything like that, then yes, it’s immoral. Killing things just for the sake of killing them is wrong.

And for an insect, death is always a slow death – because their sense of time is much, much slower than ours. People will try to make you feel bad for feeling bad. They will laugh coldly and dismiss the idea of caring for insects as naive.

During all the encounters that you’ve had with animals like houseflies, ants, cockroaches, and spiders, we’re sure you’ve wondered: Do bugs feel pain? Here’s the quick answer: Yes, they do. So, just like all other animals, bugs suffer when they’re poisoned, squished, trapped, left to die, or killed in other ways.
