The swastika has represented good luck, love, peace, prosperity and auspiciousness to every people and every culture on the planet for over 10,000 years. The swastika is to a Hindu, basically the same thing as the cross is to a Christian. However, within the last 80 years, it has been abused by Nazis and white supremacists, and now, particularly in the United States, it has come to represent hatred, racism and war.

Why did Rudyard Kipling put a swastika in soldiers three etc book?

Rudyard Kipling used the swastika in the context of its original meaning as an ancient symbol of good fortune and well-being. At that time, the swastika was not associated with the negative connotations it later acquired. Kipling likely included it in "Soldiers Three" as a symbol of luck.

What is that meaning of a prison tattoo of a swastika?

What is meaning of swastika tattoo?

It depends largely on who has the tattoo. If it is being worn by a white supremacist than it probably is a designation of white supremacy and/or Nazism. If it's being worn by someone who looks more like a hippie than a Nazi, then it is probably more symbolic of the original meaning of the swastika, which had nothing to do with Nazis or white supremacy. This is because in many Eastern faiths and cultures (Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc.) the swastika was and still is a symbol of peace and luck. Contrary to modern propaganda, the swastika was not invented by the Nazis, nor was it originally meant to be a symbol of hate. Unfortunately, one idiot with a bad mustache thought it would be a cool symbol to promote hatred, and now most Western cultures associate swastikas with hate.


Someone shouted out the word 'swastika' randomly today I was baffled what does it mean has it taken on a new meaning in today's society?

Swastika is the name for the sign of the Nazi's. Many people at my shchool have been also randomly shouting out this word. I myself am not Jewish, but I do find it offensive. People just say it to say it, as far as we know there are no more actual Nazi people. As well as there will not be another act such as the one Hitler pulled. Swastika is also a name meaning "beautiful" in some language. <I don't remember what language, though>. I had a friend named Swastika, who we had to call "Swasty" because of what a "swastika" was. -It also means 'lucky charm'.
