Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. It occurs today in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol; it is widely used in Eastern religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

In the Indosphere (South Asia, Greater India), the swastika remains ubiquitous as a symbol of wealth and good fortune. In India and Nepal, electoral ballot papers are stamped with a round swastika-like pattern (to ensure that the accidental ink imprint on the other side of a folded ballot paper can be correctly identified as such).[88] Many businesses and other organisations, such as the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and the Nepal Chamber of Commerce,[89] use the swastika in their logos. The red swastika was suggested as an emblem of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in India and Sri Lanka, but the idea was not implemented.[90] Swastikas can be found practically everywhere in Indian and Nepalese cities, on buses, buildings, auto-rickshaws, and clothing.


Ahhh... thank you. Always good to learn something new, please excuse my ignorance

Good luck trying to get that long explanation out while people are whaling on you with no regard for sanity.

No ... but you absolutely must have chartreuse Belgians. I've got to get on the waiting list for a pair!

in other words, my 2 sided confidence interval is 3 standard deviations away from the mean. I'm 99.7% confident that there is not enough evidence to reject the Null Hypothesis: you are a poof.
