    The document discusses how the swastika symbol originated as a sacred symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism but became tainted by its misuse and misrepresentation by Hitler and the Nazi party in Germany. It argues that Hitler and the Nazis actually used a symbol resembling a hooked cross, not the traditional swastika. Some evangelical Christian groups have wrongly defined the swastika as only a symbol of hate, erasing its original religious meanings in India. The article aims to distinguish between these symbols and advocate for the reclamation of the swastika as a sacred religious symbol for Hindus.
