Being a Hindu (though now more of an atheist :biggrin:) I must state the reason Hitler used the Swastika. Hitler believed he was an Aryan, the race of the Indian peoples, and the Swastika was one of many Hindu symbols. He adopted that as his badge as a sign of his "Aryan" origin.

The swastika is originally the symbol of "Shakti", i.e the sacred feminine power. It is still used as a Hindu symbol.

The hammer and sickle represents the union of agriculture with industry, (it is one of communism's ideals) hence it is not bad as a symbol.


I dont see how the first part has any relevance...
