How did the Hindus Swastika get into Nazism?
How did the pure Hindu swastika go on to become an evil symbol for Hitler?
For this, you have to go back to ancient India, when the two Sanskrit words "su" i.e. good & "asti" i.e. exists, were combined to form the swastika, a symbol that in Hinduism, stood for the 4 Holy Vedas & also the 4 yugas i.e. phases of the world's timeline - BTW, we are in the 4th yuga i.e. Kali Yuga.
In Jainism, this symbol took the meaning of their 7th Tirthankara & also the eternal cycle of life, while for Buddhists, it represents Buddha's heart & footprints.
The symbol had also travelled across Europe, becoming translated into the Norse God Thor's hammer & Christ's victory over death.
For a while, this symbol was used in the modern industrial era as a symbol of good luck & positivity, with brands & football teams in the West using it in their names.
But in around 1870, Heinrich Schliemann was excavating in Turkey when he found the poet Homer's famous city of Troy, with this symbol appearing in artefacts throughout the site.
Schliemann misinterpreted this as proof of the elite super-human Aryan race which the Nazis believed they descended from. The Nazis wanted to eliminate all the other impure races & establish white Aryans as the only race.
Some German authors further pushed the propaganda connection with Rigveda, which talked about honourable white warriors conquering the world. They
They brought this to Hitler, who really understood the power of symbols, so he chose to tweak it a bit, calling it the "Hakenkreuz" & making it his official symbol, which would help convey his anti-Jew, pro-Aryan vision.
