  • EP 08- - Why Swastika is not the same as Hitler's Hakenkreuz
    Jan 29 2025

    In this enlightening episode of Did You Know? series of Immortal India, Amish Tripathi resolves the confusion between the sacred symbol Swastika of Dharmic traditions and the Nazi symbol Hakenkreuz (the hooked cross). While the Swastika is an ancient Indian symbol of well-being, peace, and prosperity, the Hakenkreuz is a hooked cross appropriated and distorted by the Nazis for their ideology of hate.

    Amish traces the misrepresentation of the Swastika in Western perceptions to mistranslations and media narratives, exploring how this sacred Dharmic symbol, rooted in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, has been unfairly linked to Nazi atrocities. He emphasizes the Swastika’s positive legacy, with archaeological and cultural evidence spanning thousands of years, and its global significance across ancient civilizations.

    This episode is an effort to honour historical accuracy and cultural sensitivity, reclaiming the Swastika’s true meaning as a symbol of auspiciousness and unity for nearly 2 billion Dharmic followers worldwide. Join Amish in exploring the stories behind symbols and preserving their rightful legacy.
