I don't buy that. The swastika has been around for 5,000 years and was used as a symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and other religions. To expect Indians to give up the symbol—one that lives on in contemporary culture—because the Nazis bastardized it, is not esoterica. Maybe few people know this, but it would be better to restore the actual meaning to the original swastika, so that no one is caught off-guard. The people from India who wear their jewelry shouldn't have to apologize for it.
