Perspective of Jainism on National Security

Jai jinendra
I am currently working at DRDO and interested in defense related projects in future as well. But when I do some introspection, I find it that utimately I am also contributing to the science and technology causing voilence.
Any comments and suggestions on this.

I don’t think there is any problem.

There are 4 types of Himsa. Your case come into Virodhi Hinsa (himsa arises out of protecting yourself). India articulated its policy of “no first use” of nuclear weapons in 2003 and historically, India has never has never attacked any country. Only did the war to protect the nation. Also - in past era - many Jain kings use to fight and protect their kingdom.

It’s all my personal opinions. Do rectify if found something irrational.
