I have read how Westerners get scared seeing our swastika cause they dont know the difference...... so we have to make sure that all know about it...


It is said that Haken cruz was a symbol Hitler saw in one of his trip to church in childhood and picked up that symbol for his flag..... even his book mentions it so....also the first translation too mentions it as haken cruz..........its later when a UK guy translated it, that he replaced haken cruz with swastika...... unfortunately, our Govt never bothered to correct it ......

Not everyone agreed with this interpretation, however. In his book The Sign of the Cross: From Golgotha to Genocide, Dr Daniel Rancour-Laferriere, an expert on Christianity, suggests that Hitler's decision to use the hakenkreuz as a symbol of the Nazi party "may have been due to his childhood upbringing at the Benedictine Monastery in Austria, where he repeatedly saw the hooked cross in many places".


It's so widespread now..how to correct this misinformation?

Swastika was Trending on Twitter.. everyone was referring to that symbol on the protest flags as Swastika..there were n number of comments from Indians correcting it under every such post..but people still went on..they don't want to listen..those who r ready to be educated can be..those who consider themselves 'know it all' and refuse to believe otherwise can't be
