India's religious history has influenced the tradition of non-violence in many ways. One being the fact that many people who live in India are Buddhist and one of the main teachings in Buddhism is to be kind and compassionate to others and to express themselves in a peaceful manner. The teachings of Mohandas Ghandi are all about peace making and to approach life without violence. Ghandi was very inspiring, he was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule, He is well known for his way of non-violent protests to achieve political and social progress. He knew how to win battles without being brutal like Hitler who wiped out many Jews, just because he didn't like them. The kind of religions that Ghandi and many Indians practiced has influenced the Indian tradition of non-violence by setting the ideal of living in a kind and loving world.
