In one of the many stalls in Mumbai my eye fall on a bracelet with all kinds of symbols.
Amongst them was the Swastika symbol which is very common in India for it's a symbol used very much in Hinduism.

But when I saw this particular one I asked the shop owner if he knew something about the second world war, Germany in 1940 - 45, the nazi's or hitler.

He didn't know anything about and looked at me really strange....


He might not got it...

You think? I know for sure... but I am also sure a swastika in a white cirkel inclosed with that red square has little to do with hinduism... which was my point.

I thought I put that there clearly..

I thought so too although I'm not sure.
But in this context would you not associate it with the nazi's?
Because of the white and red around it.
The hindu swastika often has dots between the spaces and I've never seen it with the white and red except on nazi flags.

I think that symbol turned on its side is the hindu one, that looks like a nazi sign though because hitler used it and fliped it around. that is what is in your hand.

i'm guessing since you're not indian you won't be familiar with this shit so let me explain

if you wanna buy some totally bootleg ass shit, go to india and you shall find it

they will take a collection of different symbols and brands and put them all on one thing for you to buy probably without even knowing what those brands or symbols are

for example, my cousin went to india some years ago to visit family out there and he came back with a t-shirt which had NIKE ADIDAS REEBOK and PUMA all on that one t shirt lol

dude probably made the bracelet in the back of his shop and doesn't even know that swastika was used by the nazis

No doubt it's the Nazi symbol. You have the black swastika turned 45°, facing to the right, with the white circle and red background.

Hindu symbol:

Japanese Buddhism:

Tibetan Buddhism:


etc.

Is that Sublime's logo next to the ankh, and the Pittsburgh Pirates alternate logo next to the swastika? lulz

Pure Indian hashish was involved in the making of that bracelet.

Weed smoking Anarchist Ying Yang Che Guevara Nazi Pirates. Awesome. They should make a movie about them.

That's nothing though. In Thailand they openly sell all kinds of WW2 Nazi stuff. Flags, helmets, etc., and the people know what they are selling...

I would buy that movie!

I heard in Burma they drive around on motors with nazi helmets with the nazi symbols on them. They supposedly don't know what it means but they think it looks cool.
They are new too, made in china, you own a factory there, right mike...? Hhmmmm

YEA I FUCKED YOUR MOM IS RIGHT, THE BLACK N RED SWASTIKA AT THAT ANGLE IS ONLY A NAZI SYMBOL AS FAR AS I KNOW.

I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE JAPANEESE ONE BUT THE HINDU ONE, YES.

ALSO ISNT THERE ANOTHER VARIATION OF IT THAT INDIANS USED (FEATHER INDIAN, NOT DOT INDIAN)
