Why did Hitler choose the Indian 'swastika' as the symbol of his Nazi party?

Hitler and his Nazi party for all of us today Is a matter of curiosity. Adding to that curiosity is the swastika, the symbol of Hitler's Nazi party! You may have wondered many times, if the swastika is a symbol of Hinduism, then how did it reach a country like Germany where there were no Hindus at that time?

It arrived, but what was the significance of Hitler's inscription as a symbol of his party?

Let's find out today the history behind this symbol and its journey to the symbol of the Nazi party!

The swastika is one such symbol of religious significance in India. Swastika also has special significance in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain cultures. We mainly use the swastika as an auspicious sign. This symbol of the swastika has a history of thousands of years.

The earliest use of the swastika was found on stone carvings 10,000 years ago. The swastika is then used in the construction of buildings around the mezzanine near the Russian border.

 

This swastika can be seen on birds or other sculptures. It is believed that these sculptures are from the Stone Age.

Swastikas are also found in large numbers on sculptures made using ivory. Swastikas were considered a sign of prosperity in the Paleolithic cultures.

The swastika symbol also gained a special significance as it was a swastika carved on various sculptures made of ivory and was originally considered a symbol of elephant prosperity.

The use of the swastika in the European continent may have originated in the Neolithic Vika culture found in Southeastern Europe.

 

This culture existed about 7,000 years ago. The swastika symbol then spread throughout Europe until the Bronze Age.

 

By the beginning of the 19th century, swastikas were widely used in the West.

After that, not only advertisements but also swastika signs were seen on hockey. The swastika was very popular among all. Even some US military tops used swastikas on World War I and their RAF aircraft during 1939.

After all this was the era of Hitler. He used the swastika in such a way that his identity changed completely. Some German scholars began to find similarities between the use of the Sanskrit swastika and their use in the German language.

From this study, the Nazis noticed that there were some similarities between them and the descendants of the Indians or the gods of the Puranic period. According to him, their gods were as ancient as the Aryans.

Within days, the Nazis came to power in 1939. The Jews were ordered to be exterminated, and there was an uproar throughout the world. So the swastika used by the Nazis as their symbol became the symbol of the most brutal event in history.

This swastika symbol, used to propagate and enforce the Nazi brutality, gradually became a symbol of oppression and violence. The Jewish people were shocked to see this sign.

It was a lasting memory of the genocide perpetrated by Hitler. About 6 million Jews were killed in the massacre. In 2007, Germany banned the Nazi swastika.

The swastika is mainly used as a religious symbol. It is of great importance, especially in the countries of Central Asia and Asia. Due to its ban, a large number of tourists are affected every year. Many tourists are punished for not knowing.

This sign, which is considered very auspicious, is considered very unholy among the Jews. So much so that its use or even its appearance is considered an abomination, so it is a crime to use it anywhere. The Jews do not offer the same swastika anywhere. This symbol has been deported from their country, Germany.

Why is there so much hatred behind this sign? The reason is the same.

 

The inhuman massacre of Jews. It was as if Adolf Hitler, Germany's all-rounder, had taken up the task of eradicating Judaism and its people. Neither ghosts nor futures were slaughtered like this. They were crushed wherever they were. Those who survived somehow escaped the country and saved their own lives.

When India was under British rule, the Jews suffered a lot more than the Indians did. Of course, it is natural for the next generation of Jews to hate and resent everything related to Hitler. The black swastika was the symbol of Hitler's flag, the Nazi party and then Germany. Which was used not for auspicious deeds but for vidhataka deeds.

The question will naturally arise as to why the evil elements of the Nazi regime took the auspicious symbol associated with devotion and power, which is considered sacred by some elements of the world.

Cruel incidents like the violence perpetrated by Hitler can never be forgotten. Yet it is safe to hope that the sanctity of the swastika will gradually lessen the bad memories of the swastika.
