This practise is not limited to india only it's a global phenomenon

But then she saw the sign of hinduism which is similar to germen swastika and said hitler is everywhere.

i m listening this only from u.its related to swastika sign

She is talking about "Auntie Hitler" from a commercial of a sitcom, read the article again.

It is not a Nazi Swastika.

This symbol also appears in Buddhism. How I tell the difference, is that the Buddhist symbol goes anti-clockwise (to the left).

Whereas the Nazi Swastika, usually goes clockwise (to the right).

Not really. Even though it is what is usually said, swastikas have a history of being used in both clockwise as well as in the anti-clockwise fashion. Nothing there particularly to distinguish between the swastika of the Nazis & that which is commonly used.

Maybe you're right. I got that impression because all the Buddhist symbols I have seen are usually anti-clockwise.

Sir,

I work in Mumbai, her reference to Hitler everywhere is definitely because of the new TV serial Hitler Didi on Zee TV, of which promotional ads are plastered liberally in Mumbai - on billboards, local trains, buses, etc etc.

In India, Hitler is a commonly used label for any strict parent, teacher, disciplinarian or authoritarian.

"500 rupees!” the seller yelled with a hungry accent.

“100 rupees!” I quacked back, receiving a humiliating laugh from my opponent.

“475.”

“470?!”

“…. Alright.”

SUCCESS."

That is not a good bargain/success at all........

Being an Indian....I know for sure that the price could have been brought down within 200-250 rupees.....even less, depending on your bargaining skills.

The street vendors charge exceptionally high price at first because they know that people will bargain like hell.

 

[Nakki Nair]

They charge the white guys 3-4 times the normal price. LOL. She is a fool

 

[Tin Man]

She did not get a good deal. During my visit to Delhi, my friend took me to a street market. A particular fake leather jacket caught my eye. The vendor quoted a price of 1400 rupees for it. I thought it was a good deal and proceeded to pay him. My friend quickly intervened and brought the price down to 300.

Use your imagination to figure out my expression after.

No! he is actually almost correct.......
people give the nick-name Hitler to anyone(parents,teachers, boss etc.) who is very strict and disciplinary(but NOT rude)........therefore, it is not meant to be disrespectful to the nick holders.

but man, it really rocks to be a cow ‘cause no one will ever eat you — even though your caboose always blocks traffic and your poop’s all over the street.
