Re-touching history?

[K K Rossokolski]

The swastika is not, of course, the copyright of the now defunct NSDAP. Some 40 years ago..is it really as long ago as that?.. I was serving in a place then generally called South Vietnam, or simply Vietnam. Many of the Buddhist and Buddhist-associated displayed Swastikas in their decoration, both external and internal. Particularly widespread in the Mekong Delta, the Hoa Hao temples used them in abundance. An example, perhaps, of how the use of one thing by a given reality can totally dominate its useage by other separate realities, in this case far older and more widespread than naziism.
