I don't believe the Germans are not aware of the fact that the words "Swastika" and "Aryan" are Sanskrit. Moreover, the Swastika did not grow arms and legs and go about killing the Jews. If the Germans have to ban the Swastika, they should also ban the Cross, which is a symbol of Ku Klux Klan.

I am tired of some Jews repeatedly claiming sympathy for race crimes when Israel has consistently supplied weapons to the Apartheid regime in South Africa which were used to kill the native blacks.

the swastika emerged as a spiritual symbol for totally sperate cultures around the world without knowledge of one another. the Hindus are the most famous, but the ancient greeks used it too, so did the romans, and the japanese. The Nazis knew full well about this - but the reason they used it was because it was also the symbol of the sun to ancient germanic tribes. this is the same reaosn the Goths adopted the cross as the symbol oif christianity instead of the traditional fish

Back during the nineteen-twenties-n-thirties,e­ven on into the forties,well the swastika could be seen decoring all kinds of stuff,in Amerika.Well yeah,you could find it on good luck advertising coins,on jewelry,signs,around the borders of fotos,on tools,postcards,stamped on hamburger buns--etc-etc-etc...I guess that meant that the nazis owned and operated Amerika,and everyone was a swastika-loving nazi. Well?

The Swastika is an ancient Hindu symbol. When we Hindus use it, we're not even thinking about Nazis, Jews, the Holocaust or anything remotely associated with it. We don't need to reclaim what we never lost.

We need to take it back! Like women took the word bitch, to be empowering!

Or black people took the word nigger and made it positive!....

the white race have stolen the Svastika.

@711mind IMHO it is hijacking of a faith or philosophy. Whether it is Christianity (cross) or Hinduism/Buddhism (swastika), none preach violence. KKK or anyone using these symbols for violence and hate is just wrong. I would invite you to find out the meaning of the word 'Swastika' in Sanskrit. It symbolises peace and prosperity.

[protikmaitra]

@711mind I agree it is offensive to some and I think that is unreasonable. There is no doubt what the Nazis did to the Jews and Gypsies was a serious crime, but the Swastika is a very sacred symbol in Eastern cultures and religions. My point is, blame the ones who committed the crimes, not the symbol. That is what the title of this video says: 'Reclaim the Swastika'.

@711mind I am Indian/Hindu. Could you please clarify what you meant by your second sentence? Thanks.

[protikmaitra]

@711mind You are absolutely correct.
