Indian Civilisation, Hindus, in particular, are constantly at the receiving end of false propaganda, and persecutions, both socially and through media evolve out of intentional or negligent misconceptions. Swastika, a symbol, that holds sacred and healing significance for many, is subject to militant negation for reasons, that have nothing to do with the ancient culture it belongs to. Misinformation has led to its association with hate. Hitler’s Hakenkreuz Was Never Related to Swastika, which can be easily established with facts, and taking into account the historicity of antisemitism in Europe.
However, Maybe a few, but Indians are now even winning battles through awareness campaigns, despite the looming danger of powerful enemies like Hindu phobic evangelists, western media, and academia.
