stop the "swastika" from being banned - a hindu religious symbol!

thanks for your great comments and thanks for sharing my thoughts.personally the cross alone hs been responsible for the murder of so many innocents especially during the spanish inquisition.all in the name of the cross.so why not bannthe cross?someone should get this mesage to the germans!back off!

Hitler choiched swastica because he was a following of pagan religios... and this symbol was of this religious..

The EU wish to ban it because neo-nazis would like to reinstate it as a symbol of purity and supremacy of the arian race. You in India can still have your 'good luck charm' but I am suprised that by opposing the ban in Europe (not worldwide) you seem to support a group that has no love for you.

thank you both for your great comments.byt e way the europeans are trying to ban the symbol in its entirity so the ban should be opposed.i am totally agaist any government telling me what to worship and what not to worship!

Thanks for the education. Good to learn that.

thnak you both for your great comments.that said ihave to say that this symbol is something that we all use at our homams -religious yagnas.anyway this symbol is even used today and with great reverence.whats more banning a symbol just because of hitler is not right at all.if that was the case then should they not also be banning the corss since so many innocents were killed in the name of the cross???

true om is more liberally used but the swastika is a very important symbol and not too many hindus realise its importance to thier religion today.the next time you have a puja in your home just check out what the poojari is doing.the first thing he will do is draw the swastika!

I am also a hindu but I have not used this symbol except for mayu bhai dooj poooja over thwe years. Hindus are libral people I don't think except few really conservative people like shiv sainiks any other will even realise that its banned. Ohm is a much widely used symbol tham swatika. Swastika is just a symbol of purity nothing else.

well why should they indeed!first of all banning a religioius symbol just becasue a citizen of your country misused it smacks of dictatorship.i do not think that any country should have a say in what we worship or what we do not .whats more it has been a religious symbol for the hindus since the last 7000 years or so.nazi's have used this symbol for say just 10-12 years.why do you rhink that it is important to the hindus?

Why should they?

thanks for your comments.i also will do my best to fight the ban and i hope that you do the same!

first of all i would like to apologise if any of my comments have hurt your feelinigs .that said i only said that as a way if comparision since the symbol of the cross has been used in killing so many innocents.so if the swastika then wh y not the cross? anyway i did not intend for it to say that i want the cross to be banned or anything like that.but hey great comments!

thnak you for your comments .as for the ban it is for the whole symbol whether it is backwards or not.that is why it is so stupid and that the banh should never come into force

the ban is supposed to cover swastikas of bothe the right and left sides.so all swastikas will be banned if germany has its way!

thnaks for yuor comments.also it has been a religious symboml for the hindus for the last 7000 years and that lone makes it the religious symbol for one of the worlds oldest religions!

thanks for your great comments!

first of all thank you for yuor great comments.that said i do not think that the symbol should be banned just becasue one man and one party misused it.frankly speaking if we are to take your logic then should not the cross be banned.since there were more murder of the innocents in the name of the cross than there had been in the name of the swastika.the swastika has been a religious symbol for the hindus for the last 7000 years.the nazi's have misuded it for 12 years.so i do not think that the swastika should be banned,sorry but i donot agree with you!

thans for your comments!they were great!

thnak you both for your comments that said i am really sorry to hear that europe is not about democracy anymoroe but all about hypocrisy

It isn't a case of allowing the governments here, they don't take any notice of what people say & wish for. They go on about democracy, but in reality life is quite oppressive here. It's more of a "Do as we say, not as we do2 society at the moment, which is not only sad, but very hypocritical.

thnaks for your comment and lets hope that they do not do that!

thank you for your comments and i aprpeciate your efforts in highlighting out that the swastika is not a bad symboll and actully stands formuch more than that.it is all about putiry,and peace.

sorry the last part was actually "purity and peace"

actually this symbol goes back to iran and the black sea.i did do some research on this.the hindus-the brahminacal classes are the descendents of the aryans who migrated to india from the black sea via iran.this took place during the last ice age.during the last ice age,the basin around the black sea suffered a sudden catastrophic flooding by the sea.this casued the people[aryans] to migrate.therefore they did so.one branch of this group went to iran.they stayed there.the iraninan branch followed a religion the ancient form of hinduism,which caused a split among them.now two religions became dominant in the iranian plateau.the hinduism and Zorastrianism. but the differences between both the religions were not that much.both worshipped the fireas the eternal giver of life. anyway the hindu aryans moved on to the sind plateau -[mohendajaro,indus].there they settled for a short duration and then moved on to occupy india.today if one were to do geneological research you will find that the blood of the modern hindu brahmin is very closely linked with that of the modern iranian.i should also point out that the brahminical classes are by nature extremely insular in the sense they do not marry out of thier caste even today.therefore one would have extremely good chances of finding the aryan link between iran and them by mapping thier genes.even thier bone structures are very similar.also most of the brahmins in south india are essentially from the north and that is why thier skin is still pale in color compared to that of the others. anyway the other branch from the black sea migration went north to europe like norway and so forth. the funny thing is that the no matter where the original population migrated to or what they evolved into they all used this swastika symbol and the hindus have been using it for more than 7000 years as evidence of swastika along with a yagna remians have been found in mohenjadaro.so my timeline may not be perfect but it is very close. also as a matter of record the flooding of the black sea took place around 15-20000 years ago.also you will find evidence of this flooding in religious scripts of modern hinduism,Zorastrianism,ancient norid religions.they are all from the same family.actually i think that i would not be all that wrong to say that we are all related. that boggles one's mind ,does it not?!!

All of what you say I know except that the date you give is exaggerated, but just because the Indians have this symbol is not sufficient to show that the Nazi's use of it was adopted from there. Spread your research a little wider and you will find it was also and ancient Norse symbol. all the best urban

thnaks for your greatcomments,i think that your chinese carpet was based on a buddhist design per se.anyway the only 2 cultures to use the swastika today as a part of thier religion are the hindus adn the buddhists!thanks!

i agree.thanks for ur response!that was great!
