Template talk:Hindu

Now before you tar and feather me, the symbol on this template is a Hindu swastika. It has been used for thousands of years, and is still used in most parts of Asia and Asia Minor, to represent good luck and other good things. It is perhaps the oldest human symbol, pots with the swastika on it have been found dating back over seven thousand years. For millinia it was universially used to represent positive things, in anciant time it represented fertility, the Persians used it to represent the rising sun, to the Hindu's it represents good luck, the early Christians used it to represent the second coming of Christ. The name swastika comes from the Sanskrit word svastika, which translates as "a little thing associated with well-being." It is a common motief in art and architecture in India and Indonesia to this day. During the 1930's and 40s Adolph Hitler used it as a symbol for Nazism and the west has hated it ever since. But that does not erase milinia of goodness, and it is still viewed with benovelence in the east to this day. Look it up on Wikipedia, it's got a great article. So don't flame me, because I'm not racist and I'm not saying Hindus are either. --Paradox244 20:49, 29 July 2006 (BST)
