PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
THE NAZI SWASTIKA AND THE HINDU SWASTIKA ARE NOT THE SAME THING.
The Hindu swastika, which is actually in my house, represents good fortune and happiness, and was used long before Hitler stepped foot on this planet. Also, it is normally straight, and has dots in between.
The Nazi swastika, which obviously represents hatred of Jews, is normally on an angle, and has no dots in between.
DO NOT MIX IT UP, OR CALL AN INDIAN WHO HAS THIS IN THEIR HOME A NAZI.
IT IS NOT THE SAME THING.
Reblogging on the off chance this comes up for anyone I know.
Teach yourself.
Please note that not just Hindus use the “hindu” swastika; the Japanese and some other Eastern populations do, Native Americans do, Slavic people do, it is also found as a pattern in Arabic art…. the “Hindu”’ swastika is an universal symbol of peace, good fortune and happiness
