Buddhism and Jainism emerged as important philosophical and religious movements in ancient India, offering alternatives to Vedic traditions. The rise of Buddhism and Jainism in ancient India around the 6th century BCE marked a significant turning point in world religious history. Both movements emerged as responses to the rigid caste system and ritualistic practices of Vedic traditions. Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha), emphasized a middle path to enlightenment through ethical conduct and meditation. Jainism, led by Mahavira, promoted extreme non-violence and asceticism. These traditions introduced revolutionary concepts like ahimsa (non-violence), karma, and liberation from suffering that would influence philosophical thought throughout Asia and eventually the world.
