stop the use of word swastika to describe Nazi and white supremacists symbols.
Swastika ≠ Hakenkreuz
Let me start by explaining what the word Swastika actually means
The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit “svastika” which means “ good fortune” ,“well being” or “ auspicious”
To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism Jainism in countries such as Nepal, India, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, China and Japan. It is also commonly used in Hindu marriage ceremonies and Diwali celebrations
it is also common site on temples or houses in India or Indonesia and many other asian countries.
swastika also has an ancient history in Europe appearing on artefacts from Pre-Christian European cultures
While the symbol has a long history of over 10000/15000 years with the same positive connotation before it was forever corrupted by its use in one cultural context: Nazi Germany
The use of The word swastika in relation to Nazi should be stopped and condemned because it is disrespectful to the cultures and the religions that have been using it for thousands of years before It was adopted by Hitler and his Nazi party in 1920 with the racist ideology, German nationalist pride and in recent years by Neo Nazi, ku Klux Klan, white supremacist and other racist groups.
Use of the word swastika in conjunction with Nazi is just plain ignorant disrespectful and hurts the sentiments of million That see swastika as a symbol of good Fortune.
The swastika and hooked cross (Hakenkreuz) are 2 completely different symbols and meaning.
Swastika is a sign of good fortune and auspicious time.
hooked cross (Hakenkreuz) Is the symbol of hatred inequality genocide violence nazi party white nationalist And neo-Nazi groups
The correct word to describe the Nazi symbol is hooked cross or Hakenkreuz hooked cross (German: Hakenkreuz), angled cross (Winkelkreuz), or crooked cross (Krummkreuz) cross cramponned, cramponnée, or cramponny in heraldry, as each arm resembles a crampon or angle-iron (German: Winkelmaßkreuz)
This is a plea for justice and to Stop the use of The word swastika to describe Nazi And other white nationalist groups.
Swastika ≠ Hakenkreuz
Thank you for your time
