I have been contemplating non-violence and wondered if nonviolence can also be a form of violence in the light of not acting to prohibit violence? Or does Jain's philosophy value one life equally to that of 50?

[@123581321341]

Here the role of Dharma comes in play. You will find Jain kings and ruler who had done violence because they were doing their dharma.

[@rishavjain7661]
