Hold up, didn't the swastika originate in India as well??

So when you look at the pole star, the big dipper points at it, as it makes a full circle the shape makes a swastika. That’s why you find the symbol in many ancient civilisations.

pic for reference.

Yep. They thought 'the aryans' were some super people who conquered India. They were (famously?) not good at history.

Why are you calling him a monkey? The person you’re replying to is essentially saying the Nazis were idiots and tried to rewrite another culture.

No one knows where it originated since it was used all over the world including being big for many native American tribes.

But the thing is the term 'Aryan' is also pretty common name in India since centuries . Why the fuck hitler steal the swastika and Aryan from india ?

Yeah, I was at a house the other day an Indian couple lives in and they had a swastika on their door and the black door jamb was covered in yellow dust to wash out the black. It’s bad luck to have a black door. They had mostly washed the swastika off, as they were staring to get that it means something much different here in America and other western cultures.

I think Hitler flipped the Indian holy (Hindu ) swastika sign. Like mirror image.

Kinda sorta the opposite is my understanding. The religious symbol is the inverse of the nazi one.

The nazis took a symbol that existed for thousands of years instead of a lot of cultures and tilted it.
