Doesn't the Swastika have Indian roots, or something?
Ne er understood how India is racist n looks down on others while being one of filthiest countries on earth.
Some symbols are more equal than others.
Me neither, they have the right idea. They want Asia to be for Asians, and they are proud of it. They are preserving their people, their culture, their ideas and holding onto what is theirs by blood and soil. IF they lost a war on their front, that's on them, but for now, they stand tall and strong and I applaud them for understanding and upholding their biological imperative.
Hitler is popular in pockets all over the world. I’ve seen in in Mexico and China. As is Stalin.Following on from the most racist countries in the world thread, I recalled over the years seeing numerous articles with regards to the popularity of Hitler in India. Some of them are listed below. This thread isn't supposed to be a generalisation about all Indians, nor should their be bigoted comments towards Indians - I just find it intriguing that a man who essentially regarded Indians and other races to be subhuman is looked upon with such admiration by a certain section of the population.
It seems that his popularity is possibly down to ignorance, a failure to understand who he was and what his legacy is. Some people interviewed have stated that because of his use of the swastika, he is "one of us". One student said that they are taught about Hitler but things like the Holocaust are omitted. The focus is on his ability to manage effectively.

“ the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”
Ghandi said they were lazy
They divide themselves into castes with levels its no suprise they see others that wayIt should be obvious, but Indians in general are very racist and do not believe that all people or races are equal.
The swastika has a good version and and evil version. Hitler chose the evil version on purpose to suit his twisted, goals.
Yup, and the Dutch version is 'Kaffer'.And, to this day, 'Kaffir' remains the South African version of the 'n-word'.

Nah it's pretty simple. People in the west do the equivalent all the time; see my post above about GSP.Whatever the answer is, it probably won't be a simple one. We are talking about a culture and a mindset that has room for 33 million gods. Hitler 'popularity' is (most likely) an exceedingly minor blip in that whole cosmic shebang.
If your point is that simple celebrity-worship is the likely answer, i'd be inclined to agree with you.Nah it's pretty simple. People in the west do the equivalent all the time; see my post above about GSP.
