What is a similar belief in both Hinduism and ahimsa that shaped
the way many Indians live?

Ahimsa in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism. For the people in ancient India who made liberation their primary aim or for the enlightened minds who focused upon spiritual practices, the practice of nonviolence was not a mere theory. The Buddha practiced it and actively applied it to resolve differences among the rulers of his times and prevent wars.
