      Think you might be a bit quick to judge here – the Swastika is an ancient symbol dating back as far as 2500BC in Indian religion to evoke ‘Shakti’ in tantric rituals and evoke the gods for blessings. Or perhaps Buddhism? It has been found as far back as 3BC and is known as a “yung drung” – in ancient Tibet, it was a graphical representation of eternity. In East Asian traditions the paired swastika symbols are included, at least since the Liao Dynasty, as part of the Chinese writing system. In Hinduism, the swastika is considered a symbolic representation of Ganesha. In Hindu rites, Ganesha is offered first offerings in every pooja. The swastika is made with Sindoor during any Hindu religious rite. Jainism gives even more prominence to the swastika as a tantra than does Hinduism. It is a symbol of the seventh Tirthankara, Suparshvanath. In Iran, dates back to first millennium BC. In South Ural Mountains the swastika meets in archaeological barrows and in culture the Bashkir. Swastikas in Armenia can be seen on early medieval churches and fortresses, such as the principal tower in Armenia’s historical capital city of Ani. The swastika shape was used by some Native Americans . Greco-Roman, Celtic, Germanic, Illyrian, Baltic, Slavic, Sami – EVEN IN CHRISTIANITY! In Medieval and early modern Europe In Christianity, the swastika is used as a hooked version of the Christian Cross, the symbol of Christ’s victory over death. Iceland, Ireland, Finland. Sweden used it in their military. The Finnish Air Force uses the swastika as an emblem, originally introduced 16th March, 1918. until April, 1945, during the on-going Lapland War.
      Don’t be so quick to associate it with Nazism.
