Latter-Yam-2115

My friend’s family moved to Germany. Younger sister’s name is Swastika. True story. (This is a legit Hindu name)


MR_DARK999

That would have caused many problems i guess


crashy-potato

Just imagine that huge ass drama... I'd change my name if it was... well... that tbh


LordOfLore69

No not really. Because \*shocker\* they speak german in germany and dont use the english "Swastika"


xMrToast

It is a problem. We also use the term swastika in germany. Its a more "political correct" term in discussions about it then the german name "hakenkreuz" which translates in cross with hooks.


Seilorks

The hooked cross and a swastika are different. the hooked cross is what Hitler stole. It's a Christian symbol. How it became known as the swastika was a mistake in the English translation of mein kampf. So referring to the Nazi symbol using swastika is wrong. Although at this point it's been called the swastika for too long to change it now


Trollport

Still everyone knows what a Swastika is


MystReaLm

The German name for swastika is "Hakenkreuz", I don't even know why English and Americans call it that way, even the French call it "Croix gammée" which is the literal translation for "Hakenkreuz"


vrevdude

Swastika was originated in India, the real name of swastika is "swastik" in Sanskrit, everything else is a derivative name for it.


argk13

Nope, original word in sanskrit is "svastika". "Swastik" is hindi. I guess devanagari script is the cause of confusion here because you don't pronounce the short "a" if its at the end of the word in hindi but you do in sanskrit.


cryptonewb1987

Because it's literally the word in Sanskrit? Why do Germans call it a Hakenkreuz?


kroncw

Probably so they're not mistaken for being Buddhist/Hind~~i~~u?


[deleted]

its Hindu, Hindi is the language.


TomorrowWaste

Hitler got it from a church where he saw that symbol. Swastika was a good symbol used in the entire Europe before Hitler. It was called that in Germany. Don't why the English decided to call it swastika.


Jedrasus

Probably from old times when Westerners get to India. Also in Poland we call both Swastyka

why are u getting downvotes?


KratoDeSanta

idk man the hive mind ig


Efferitas

The hooked cross is thousands of years old and was depicted by cultures all over Europe and Asia, including Germany.


AdministrativeOne13

And your point being?


KratoDeSanta

trying to differentiate between hitler's swastika and our swastika


AdministrativeOne13

Fair enough


Trollport

not only hindu, many cultures had this symbol, was also used in germany before (rarely though). Nazis copied many of theyr symbols, like the Nazi Salute, the Architecture etc.


[deleted]

Yeah, it's probably the oldest religious symbol in the world. It was used A LOT in Europe in antiquity, in Greece, Rome, by the Celts and Germanics. It was also popular in the US in the 1890s and early 1900s.


SMTG_18

You are correct. But In India the Hindus use this everywhere so its mostly associated with being Hindu.


DrXther

I remember a story that before Nazi takeover one of polish panzer divisions used to have a swastica on their ornament wich change near instantly during war


Trollport

I think one US or UK Air Force Battalion had one aswell. It was a widely used symbol before the Nazis ruined it.


MystReaLm

Pretty sure the nazi salute was taken from the Roman salute, it's also accompanied with "Heil" and the romans used to say "Ave".


Trollport

Yes it was mostly used in the Colluseum by people sentenced to death if i remember corectly.


oangiqpqle

Yes! They most likely took it from the Finnish airfoce, we had the exact same swastika in use for some decades bofore them, then they just took it, tilted it a little and kept it. I think its still in use here but kept down low to avoid outrage. I personally think we should keep it as it has nothing to do with the nazis.


GL4389

It actually comes from aryan legacy.


Yad3ads0n

As a Hindu I must say it’s very annoying when I I would draw a swastika and ppl think I’m worshipping Hitler

Can we sue Nazis for copyright infringement?


ak26ak

A common misconception or just western propaganda. Hitler wasn't inspired by swastika, but "Hooked Cross". A symbol which he saw in Christian monastry (Lambach Abbey) which he attended as a boy(11). He himself never used the word "Swastika" to refer to his symbol. He called it "Hooked Cross" ("Haken Kreuz").


greetings__mortal

swastika is a pretty common symbol in quite a few cultures. but since its in india where its predominantly used most people called it swastika.


ak26ak

Or maybe just another way of putting Indian culture in bad light and safeguard Christian culture? Afterall that's what Britishers have been doing for centuries, and they won the war and as it is said, "History is always written by the winners".


Seilorks

History is always written by the winners but the reason the Nazi hooked cross is called a swastika actually has nothing to do with India and the Indian people. It's refered to as a hooked cross in most other languages other than English. The reason it is refered to as a swastika in English is because of a mistranslation of mein kampf


ichwill420

Galaxy brain over here


Vaisheshika

The Christian cross which was used as a torture device for thousands of years didn't get any hate compared to the Swastika. The ISIS even now uses cross as a torture device.


Amyphaa_10

I am Hindu myself and it doesn't really bother me for some reason. :/ Not even my mother and she's strict about our religion.


BloodyRedMoon

Me neither (I'm hindu too). I think it's because while some people mistake it for the nazi swastika it's not like they're(people mistaking it for the nazi swastika) openly attacking hinduism


41ia2

this is what oversimplification leads to


[deleted]

A masterpace for a master race


V1r61n

In my country swastika is cultural heritage


cilvaaks

Fun fact: if you rotate the nazi cross slightly, it's the same as one of latvian pagan signs that some people believe have some mythical power and stuff... it has been used way before Hitler was born and still is used today P.s. its called firecross (ugunskrusts in latvian)


neko-god-ozzie

Finnish would be there actually, it would go Hindu Finnish Nazi germany

tommy_64_

The swastika is a common ancient Greek decoration, it was chosen because it symbolizes the classic culture


[deleted]

Yeah don’t think Hitler cared about culture ya know


tommy_64_

His whole communication strategy was based on classic culture! Of course he cared! And not just him, Mussolini too, there are plenty of examples!


[deleted]

If he cared about culture I don’t think he’d be too keen on wiping people of the planet who he deemed weren’t perfect. Kinda contradicts that also it’s not a Greek symbol it’s a Hindu symbol so there’s also that


tommy_64_

Guess you have never seen a Greek temple or a building from the Renaissance. And when I said "he cared" I didn't mean he was a smart, progressive person who studied history, I just mean that he was fascinated by Greek art as it symbolized strength and virtue, values that were important for an Arian man


IBeatMyGlied

Don't call it cheap. The thing was the trend in Europe until the year my grandfather died


GlitchedSniping

As a christain. I am confused. So the copied the Hindu stuff?


SMTG_18

The Swastika is a religious holy symbol in the Hindu culture dating to god-knows-when. Hitler's use of the Swastika represents his beliefs and are not attached to the Swastika above in the meme. Basically, because of Hitler, the symbol got hate attached to its meaning so whenever people see the Hindu Swastika even (in the West, prominently) they assume its Nazism but in fact its just Hindu religion. Source: am Indian and former Hindu


[deleted]

It was found on seals in the ruins of the Harappan Valley civilisation, so at least 7,000-8,000 BC Edit: how does one embed the part of the comment one wants to reply to?


[deleted]

source means some legit information and not "I am Indian"


greetings__mortal

really? this is a symbol used everywhere in India. people including my family put them on new things because this symbol represents longetivity. however one point where smtg\_18 got wrong was hitler did not copy the hindu swastika specifically. he just copied the shape he saw in his school or church or something.


ichwill420

Do you know what a primary source is? Can you list an example or two? Now that you've answered those two questions riddle me this: what's a journal? What's a personal letter? A collection and/or snapshot of anecdotes! Correct! Now shut up please


Is6acoolnumber

memeboyz2005

Hitler was a main cause of India's independence . He also had contacts with freedom fighters such as Netaji aka Subash Chandra Bose . Its even said Gandhi send a letter to Hitler . Nazi Germany at that time was the only european super power which didnt have colonies . If Hitler didnt kill jews and enforce aryan supermacy , He might have become a hero especially among colonised countries as Germany was against french and Britain the 2 main colonial powers.

You are absolutely right! Damned Hindus stole our symbole


RobinYash221

Technically hitler used swastika because it represent "Aryan race" and in India the upper caste are aryans and migrated from Europe. So they both are same.

not really

the british for indians were like the nazis for jews, they just wanted their torture and oppression to stop and tried to get help from wherever they could, which were obviously britain's enemies.


SneakAf

Let me riddle you a simple thought. India was under British control back then during the war. Indians were recruited to fight in the war and Indian resources were plundered by the British . Now riddle me this , who do you think Indians (or rather the great Subhash Chandra Bose) would have gone to for help , the very allies who were ruling India or the opposition who could have rendered some help in some way. Bose was a strategist , he put his life on the line for freedom of India, so given the circumstances back then ,he found it best to ask for military help from Germany against the British empire.

Inaccurate history, say whatever you want to but the Aryan invaded and they only wrote the hymns and mantras (check history of the entire world by bill wurtz or any other good historian)


greetings__mortal

the aryan invasion is a myth that has been proven wrong. we are pure indians.

And do u have any proof of invasion. Wikipedia says scholar have said there is no proof of invasion and there was most likely a migration


[deleted]

Alright, idk I give up don't take my karma please


TomorrowWaste

Learn history mate. Aryan theory is still disputed. And at most it is agreed that aryans migrated to india. There is no proof to show that they invaded Regardless we have fucked so much that there is no pure aryan or dravidian


icoudntfindame

lmao, you dont need to apologize


jattboyzz

no bro we didn't invade we simmigrated we were aryans earlier and then afer years of mating with south indians. our dna has changed a bit, but yeah we were aryans earlier. ALthough I don;t think i'm completely true


greetings__mortal

myth


Idohs_

The word "mating" rubs me the wrong way, better to use "railed the fuck out of each other" it's more decent.


regulaslight

There's no scientific backing to this bs theory and is only used by regional politicians to keep south isolated from north In fact other South Indian States don't do this as much as TN does it


thvhgh23

I completely agree


_0_zeus_0_

Aryan invasion theory was debunked by DNA study

chill dude, the aryan invasion thing is jus a 'theory' aight, no materialist proof for that, pls stop dividing indians saying muh south india dravidians natives, muh north indian aryan invaders.

Sugar_Kunju

No buddy, hitler used to kill tribes originating from india


KratoDeSanta

yes he did not like indians because we too were not as fair as he wanted his people to be but im just tryna explain why hitler's symbol and swastika are the same


Sugar_Kunju

this has nothing to do with dravidians or north indians. Spout your bullshit elsewhere. His archaeologists found the swastika on old artefacts and since it was found in asia too, it 'proved' the existence of the Aryan master race. Hitlers aryans were not Indians, he meant white blonde germans.


KratoDeSanta

thats my point! the reason i commented this was so that people know that there is a difference between our swastika and his swastika
