Swastika is used as good luck symbol in India and the symbol of eternety in Buddhism (if I am not mistaken).

But is red normally. or have dots among the sterms.

On the other hand Christian cross should be banned in first place - several million peoples were killed, raped, or enslaved under that sign during almost 1500 years...

[umeshway]

Swastika is a symbolic for Hyper Cube theory in a nutshell.

My dad owned bajaj chetak wen i was a kid...but comenting abt dis ad...it was just an ad 4 me den , but now wen i've gt my own bajaj pulsar ;) , each n every clip in d ad makes me relive every moment....again !!!!!!!

[ksaravana88]

my dad owned bajaj super when i was ukg...rememeber my childhood memories...i miss you bajaj

[vipindaspillai]

there is a small change in hitler swastika and indian swastika..the positioning of swastika is just opposite. and indan believes if u draw a swastika turun arround (like hitler one) it will cause a very bad luck...think about hitler..this is true.

[recurvebows]

swastika or "tekerőlevél" is also a thousands of year old magyar symbol. today we are not allowed to use it... btw this scooter is great, it is an italian vespa replica. i rode 2500 km in india in 2001 though on a hero honda cbz. great memories.

[wolverinerahul]

One of the best Indian ads ever

[ssriram87]

Thanks a ton for posting this! Gets me back to days when I was a kid. Nostalgic.

[vkafghan]

This ad depicts the 80s and 90s So nicely...scooters were a huge part of our lives...people were ready to wait 15 years before they could get one..I wonder if i can find one of the 80s model Bajaj Priya or super...

[impunjabijatt]

i still got an 86 chetek. ride it when i go to india. its fun.

[gaganmukesh]

I remember riding on scooter with my dad... Oh my good old days.. How I used to hold his shirt tightly and spoil the crease!!

dad I miss you!!!

[18yerold]

Please, settle down.

[abhishake4]

Lovely ad. thanks for posting.

I still ride my 1973 three gear "Bajaj 150" when i go home :D

[Queencitysoul]

Thanks for posting this. It's a shame that Bajaj stopped making the Chetak (and Super) I've owned 5 Chetaks over the years, ('77, an '81, and 3 '02 4-strokes) and consider them to be some of the best made hand-shift scooters in the world. LML is now the only manual scooter maker in the world, Piaggio just stopped this year. I don't dig Pulsars, etc. and they arent even here in the USA. If the Indian middle class grows maybe they will develop a sense of "retro" and want the classics for pleasure.

[ashcoounter]

this was composed by Vishal Bhardwaj ji

dont know the singer

[farrariii]

the singer is Vinay Mandke

[fulltimepassgiri]

Vishal Bhardwaj had also composed the title track for "Dragon Ka Beta - Taro", a japanese anime series for DD in Hindia, lyrics by Gulzar ji.

hi...............

[vthuppil]

Amazing to compare this old "socialist India" commercial with the new Bajaj commercials, such as Pulsar 220 commercial which can also be seen on YouTube.

Bajaj truly reflects the society of Indian mentality. In 1989, we were happy riding around scooters and polishing them.

Today, we are hungry to take the lead. Bajaj's new refrain "aage nikal rahe hum" (we are getting ahead) truly does capture the essence of today's India.

Hamara Bajaj - "Our Bajaj"

Wow! I'm so lucky to own one of the last of these beautiful scooters. I must say that Bajaj has stayed more true to the original "Piaggio Vespa" design that they were once licensed under than Vespa itself. Ironic, isn't it?

[vinayasthana04]

most beautiful add i ever seen

[missinghome123]

makes me sooo nostalgic

m missing india soo much

cant wait to go back to India

[farrariii]

its Vinay Mandke !!!

he's awesome don't u think !!!!

[doIhavetoreally]

who sang this? mesmerizing..

[AIpha0mega]

dude, they even turned that lil scooter into a god lmao. nice going.

[stalwart911]

Great ad.. I was 3-4 years old then and hated bajaj scooters coz my dad had a hero honda back then.. but as a mechanical engineer I salute the bajaj engineering team,, which is fully comprised of Indians who have developed superb/worldclass products like pulsar and many more

[D0GxFART]

lmfaO, INDIA

[rdx1327]

haha ha ha this man lost his girfriend to an indian??

.....brilliant....that proves we have brains.... understood Mr.Maraujo1984 ?

[LTF85199]

Nostagia, brings me back soo many beautiful memmories, thank you soo much for posting!

[shankarnath123]

It's brilliant. Strikes an emotional chord. Well done!

[katewinslet90210]

Does anyone have the Bajaj electric ad with the old man talking about how Bajaj bulbs have always been around?

[virtualvirtue]

ok for old times' sake this ad is good. the best part about it is the signature tune. but the new bajaj ad that came out post 2000 was the best ever.

[maraujo1984]

Bajaj is a copy of Piagio Vespa... good commercial, even when I don't like so much the indians ('cause my ex-girlfriend cheat me with an indian)

[heavymetalguitarist]

Eh? Your girlfriend cheated you with an Indian, so you hate Indians? You are not really bright, are you?

[maraujo1984]

I make my excuses... This comment I made 2 months ago... now I don't have any hatred against the Indians, except only with the man who are with my ex-girlfriend... Even if he were Indian, American, Aryan, Japanese, Venezuelan (like me), etc... only the man, not the nationality

[meamgadhu]

love it....can't believe it's been so much time

[tunatuna87]

i think i was like 3 yrs old when i saw this ad on tv..and now on youtube..it was really cool to see it after soo long

[sinhautkarsh]

great job, keep uploading! (i have the new one uploaded on mine, check it out..)

[ynaras]

Wow! What a nostalgic ad! Bulandh Bharath Ki Bulandh Tasveer!

[debjyotichatterjee81]

Fantastic Add Work. Makes Me A Proud Indian And A Very Proud Bajaj Owner....

[srev2004]

aryans never invded india. Indians immigrated out maybe...

[KahnBB6]

These scooters look just like Vespas??

[snapdragon69]

It's not true to say the swastika has nothing to do with the symbol used by Hitler. It's origins are the same

from around 4000 years ago. The swastika is a symbol of the sun used by the most ancient peoples the world over.

[dianamherrera]

Yes, obviously. It's the same symbol, otherwise no one would've noticed the similarity. But the swastika as it is used in this commercial doesn't promote Nazism or anything of the kind. I wanted to make sure I pointed that out before someone starts complaining about the ad.

[abhimanc]

You are right about the Swastika - if you come to India during Diwali , you'll be surprised to see Swastika signs painted in the homes of a majority of Hindus. Infact most of them are not even aware of the association of Swastika with Hitler

[siddhuw]

The scooter's brand name is Bajaj. Hamara means 'our'. And yes, the swastika is a Hindu symbol, a long long time before Hitler misappropriated it, and has nothing to do with the Nazi swastika.

[snapdragon69]

The swastika was brought to what is now called India by the Aryans who settled in the North 4000+ years ago, these people originated in the region of Europe now known as modern day Germany to Bulgaria and Russia.

This 'tribe' was supposed by Hitler to be the basis of indigenous Germans and possibly was/is.

[rakshan]

The Aryan invasion never happened. btw, I believe the hindu swastika and the nazi one are opposite in the direction they turn (one is clockwise and the other, anti)

[amarssadal]

rakshan is right.

snapdragon....what u are saying is nazi propaganda. the basis of racial superiority....the aryan blood and racial hygiene....its all nazi and to much more extent western propaganda.

[voteforgoat]

actually, nazi swastikas went both ways, especially early on in the thirties and the war. i also thought they went one way until I came across them going in different directions. At some point the nazis standardized it. the whole nazi mythology is from a mess of sources, so it makes senses things weren't always very precise in the beginning of their propaganda assault.

[shortdevil2]

ur stupid shut up

[voteforgoat]

the swastika is also commonly used in Buddhism and again that had nothing to do with nazism. the swastika was also a common decorative symbol in the west. i've seen it built into the masonry of several apartment buildings in chicago ( pre-war buildings of course - the design lost a lot of popularity in the west).
