Thank you! As a Hindu, the Swastik is STILL important to us. In some temples they stopped displaying them because they don't want to deal with a fight or some violence if it happens. But now there's a collective effort by Hindu, Buddhist and Jain organizations in California to get this recognized.

Also, the Nazis never used swastikas. They used the hakenkreuz (hooked cross) inspired by the Chrstian cross. James Vincent Murphy in 1939 translated Mein Kampf to English and replaced all the words 'hakenkreuz' to 'swastika' to remove traces of the Christian roots of Hitler's antisemetism. That's why now we talk about white nationalism but no fundemental Christianity in terms of the violence against jews.
