Answer 2

Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi was a person who was known for his non-violent protests when standing up to British rule over India. “An eye for an eye,” means the punishment exactly matches the crime or injustice. Thus, according to “an eye for an eye,” one would return violence with violence if violence is bestowed. Gandhi, however, being a pacifist, argued that violence is not the answer to violence and to respond to violence with violence would only do further damage. Thus, he added “ends up making the whole world blind” as his argument against violence.
