[LadyFinger]

Poor guys! Didn't know what they were fighting for.
And one more thing, swastika has origins in our region, it is our thing. The Nazis stole it from here to give themselves a false sense of glory as in our lands it was considered to be a sign of social elite of the highest order.

Actually the Swastika can be found in different parts of the world where the original Aryan settlers migrated, including india, and brought the symbol with them. In other words the symbol was not originally native to the indian subcontinent. The Swastika is considered a sacred symbol in Odinism (ancient European paganism) representing the sun, thus it is more likely that Swastika was brought to india by the ancient ancestral relatives of modern day Nordic European.

The oldest Swastikas are found in what is today the area between Central Asia and Eastern Europe, the ancient homeland of the original Aryans who were the ancestors of modern Europeans.

Nope it was not. It was central Asian origin supposedly. But another school of thought says deep south of Indian sub-continent, something which gets credence with discovery of townships dating to 8000BC and earlier near Chennai

Oh they had come for Language course at Pushkin Institute of Russian Languages. If you read about the Sikh contribution at Monte Casino it is quite impressive

Firstly, sorry to know about your dad.

I think these were bosnian muslims from WW2. The Ottoman empire was involved in WW1.

swastika was never a sign of the elite its just an auspicious sign.

 

[LadyFinger]

Its a beautiful sign indeed, whatever it is. I read it signified either a round or the sun that meant the ruler in that culture.
