Swastika
The swastika has taken on perhaps the most diverse meanings of any symbol. In Europe and the West it is a disturbing reminder of Adolph Hitler and the Nazis regime. The swastika, as a Nazi symbol, is banned in Germany but a proposal to extend the ban across the European Union in 2005 failed. Microsoft has banned it from all games.
However in other cultures, including ancient China, native American and modern India, a version of the swastika signifies good luck and harmony. The photo above is a common decoration, here painted on a house celebrating a wedding day in Rajasthan, India.
