I feel very sad when see hatred against hindus. But After seeing overseas Hindu I feel very relax that have preserved our culture.
A lot of love and support from India. Thnx very much . Your great respect in USA feels every indian proud.
As a senior citizen I suggest either send protest e-mails to HAF or take e-mail I.ds.of Federal Departments/Police Stations supporting HAF for selective attack on Hinduism/Hindu Symbols. Let us not relent till the abusive claim on SWASTIKA is totally withdrawn.
Dang this video is great.!🔥

Amazing information 🙌
During colonial rule in India, England was not a secular country with a Jeffersonian wall of separation between church and state. Instead, the Church of England was the established church. The “Act of Supremacy” enacted in 1534 declared that the monarch was the “Supreme Head of the Church of England”. The Archbishop of Canterbury and other high-level church officials were appointed by the government. New monarchs were crowned by a senior member of the clergy, and senior bishops were represented in the House of Lords. Much of this remains true today. How, then, did the idea of secularism take root in India, which derives many of its institutions and practices from England?
Initially, the East India Company (EIC) got itself intricately entangled with the administration of religious institutions. Temple employees were appointed by government officials. Royal salutes were fired from the batteries of Fort St. George in Madras, at the celebration of Pongal, and at Ramzan. Under the orders of the public officer of the district, a religious offering was made at temples for a good monsoon. Laws were enacted which said that the “general superintendence of all lands granted for the support of mosques [and] Hindoo temples” was vested in the colonial government.
A change of policy
All this annoyed Christian missionaries and members of the clergy in England and India who put pressure on the government. Consequently, in 1833, the Court of Directors of the EIC sent instructions to the colonial government outlining its policy towards India’s religions. The Directors wrote that all “religious rites” that were “harmless… ought to be tolerated, however false the creed by which they are sanctioned.” However, they wrote: “The interference of British Functionaries in the interior management of native temples, in the customs, habits and religious proceedings of their priests and attendants, in the arrangement of their ceremonies, rites and festivals, and generally in the conduct of their interior economy, shall cease.”
It was in this manner that the seeds of secularism were sown in India. The colonial government was directed to disentangle itself from “superstitious” Indian religious institutions, because Indian religions were considered heathen and false. However, the Church of England in India was still established for a long time.
The wall of separation between temple and colonial state in India was achieved in 1863, when a law was enacted which said that it would no longer be “lawful” for “any Government in India, or for any Officer of any Government” in his official capacity, to take over the “superintendence of any land or other property” belonging to a “Mosque, Temple, or other religious establishment”, to take part in the “management or appropriation of any [religious] endowment”, to nominate or appoint any trustee in a religious institution, “or to be in any way concerned therewith”. Referring to this law in the legislative council, the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal said that it would “rid” the government of a “burden”.
The missing clause
However, this colonial vision of secularism was rejected by India’s founding fathers. After the Government of India Act, 1919, Indian legislators came to power at the provinces. Indian political leaders enacted the far-reaching Madras Hindu Religious Endowments Act, 1926, which virtually took over the management and administration of Hindu temples in the province. It established “boards” appointed by the government. Temple trustees had to furnish accounts to and obey the instructions of the boards. Temples’ surplus funds could be spent by the boards themselves, on any “religious, educational or charitable purposes not inconsistent with [their] objects”.
The entanglement of the government with religious institutions in India would be impermissible in the U.S. The first amendment to the Constitution there prohibits Congress from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion”. In the Constituent Assembly, B.R. Ambedkar drafted an establishment clause which said that “[t]he State shall not recognize any religion as State religion.” K.T. Shah’s draft said that the government would be “entirely a secular institution”, which would “maintain no official religion [or] established church”. If these clauses found their way into the Constitution, the Madras Hindu Religious Endowments Act, 1926, could possibly have been found unconstitutional.
Then, something odd happened. In April 1947, the sub-committee on fundamental rights in the assembly discussed the establishment clause, and K.M. Munshi and K.M. Panikkar promised that they would re-draft it, “so as to provide for those cases where religion is already accepted as a State religion.” A few days later, when the sub-committee presented its report on fundamental rights, the establishment clause unceremoniously vanished. Later, H.V. Kamath tried to move an amendment in the Constituent Assembly to introduce an establishment clause into the draft constitution to the following effect: “The State shall not establish, endow, or patronize any particular religion.” However, his amendment was put to vote and rejected.
The Supreme Court has allowed governments to heavily regulate Hindu temples on the theory that the freedom of religion does not include secular matters of administration which are not essential to the religion. Sometimes, the court has perhaps gone a little too far since the line between integral religious practice and non-essential secular activity is often hard to draw. For instance, though the government cannot interfere with rituals and prayers at temples, it can regulate the amount that temples spend on such things. Even the appointment of priests in Hindu temples has been held to be a secular activity, which the government can regulate.
In a letter written in 1802, President Thomas Jefferson advanced the idea of a “wall of eternal separation between church & state” in the U.S. The wall of separation between temple and state in India was first constructed by a colonial government which wanted to distance itself from religions that it considered heathen and false. That wall was then pulled down by Indian leaders who felt that government entanglement in religious institutions, especially Hindu temples, was essential, even in a secular state.
Jai Hind Jai hindu

Good Organization.
The word Swastika should be taken off all textbooks internationally and replaced with hooked cross.
Go to Hell with Hitler, if you think this way. It is your place. Even hebrew, which used the ancient swastika as religious symbol, know the difference. But ignorant persons like you... will never understand.
Har har mahadev 🙏
Thanks for the info
Nazi Hakenkreuz isn't Hindu Swastik,
Thanks for clarifying difference...🙏🙏🙏

Thank you very much for making the effort to put up this illustration of the orientation of the Little Dipper and the Big Dipper around Polaris in the 4 seasons.
Great and short video!
Jai hind
Ye about to bring people out the darkness(ignorance) marvelous light(knowledge).#Ye24
Being educated about Swastika is better than being ignorant of it, and just aligning it with Hitler and the Nazis. I think the more I educate myself about the swastika will make me reconsider it in a good light. I encourage everyone to get educated about it, and please do not associate it anymore with the guys who gave the Swastika a bad name and reputation. They should have known better! Hitler should have known better! Well, that is done. It is time to bring the swastika back in a good light, and in a good way. No more the swastika should be politicized. The swastika is Universal just like the star, the eagle, the dragon, and many more.
We are back ...
Thankyou for this
I love Swastikas. I've got many of them from all over the earth. I don't have any from Germany. 😂
Funny 😂
It is the duty of every Hindu, whether in India or abroad to raise their objection and protest with the local/Federal authorities democratically and peacefully as governed by law, against baseless, rather racial, attack on Hinduism and Holy Hindu Symbols. If, unfortunately, Swastika were accepted, then starts for 'OM' also then 'JAI SRIRAM', a war cry. Even if such protest is not possible then at least send e-mails to HAF as solidarity and moral support. They in turn submit all mail copies as evidence to the Governments concerned. Hope, you all may agree.

You are taking so much effort to make videos but views are less.
Please invest in advertising the channel in India 🙏🏼🚩❤️
I learmed about this from Charles Manson. Wow, he really was right!
And if you flip and tilt the swastika
You have Hitler.
The power of symbols amazes me.
For whatever purpose.. good or bad..
They are powerful.

Love the work u r doing

Germany vs India
India: nice
Germany: GUTEN TAG
And it's not solely Hindu; it's a pangaean symbol of goodness!
The swastika is a powerful symbol
Can we please stop Swastika use to refer to that nazi symbol instead we should use the original Word which Hitler used for it
That is "Hakenkreuz" .
🕉️🕉️🙏🙏
I studied and did presentations about it. The swastika is basically represents the Sun, hence life-force, power and is the essence of the idea of "good fortune." Aside from the regions mentioned in the video, it's ingrained in the cultures of African Bantu people, Arabs, Chinese, Inuit, Arawak, Jews, Muslims, Inca, Iranians, Christians, Scandinavians, ... you get it. It's the symbol that connects all of humanity for far longer than even mentioned here.
That's why the N*zis used it, for their "good fortune" and because it is easily recognizable. Hell about time to educate the people and give it back to the world.
We oldest indians alwys top on the world and we come back stronger mind it europians☝️
Today I came to know about your work which is criticized by PTA ...my humble request to you that should raise the genocide that took place in Jammu and Kashmir in 1990.."January 1990
Massive crowds assemble in mosques across valley, shouting anti-india, anti-pandit slogans. The exodus of Kashmiri Pandits begins. In the next few months, hundreds of innocent Pandits are tortured, killed and raped. By the year-end, about 350,000 Pandits have escaped from the Valley and taken refuge in Jammy and elsewhere. " Here's an excerpt of Col Tej Kumar Tikoo's book, Kashmir: Its Aborigines and Their Exodus,
We Hindus draw swastika at the starting of any holy ceremony and meaning of it is 'let everything be good. Although Hitler used it in distorted way and started destruction. The person who is using our holy symbol in the wrong way he should be punished and not the holy symbol. I feel movement should start to release the holy symbol from the ban .The symbol be related to any religion.
Om
*Hitler put Cristian huk(cross) in his Flag which is not swastika* you firstly clearly understood that.
You can't deny that they look very similar which leads to people mistaking the pure version with the hateful version.

In Ukraine and Russia we use hundreds of different svastikas. It is not really a luck symbol but more of a cosmic form. The four legs representing our 4 origins.

That is crazy :skull: :skull:

Read Rene Guenon to know more.
Suspect the word Swastika is a actually an abbreviated form of some other much longer word or expression in some Indian language, probably in old Malayalam ? - pls help.
