[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe the Swastika story.  [/quote]

I have a picture on my Facebook page that could prove it to you.  They had a talent show at camp and it was in black and white.  If I knew how to post those here, I would happily share.  I couldn't believe my eyes at first, either.

I'm in western fairfax county.[/quote]

Not the pp, but I can believe this.  I personally would not name my child this regardless of the meaning simply because I know that it would make her life harder here, but it is a true Bengali name with a beautiful meaning.  Just because Hitler unfortunately ruined all connotations of the swastika and turned a symbol that had for 1000s of years meant peace and good luck across the world into a symbol of hate.  I wonder sometimes if he had used a cross or triangle if we would still vehemently oppose those symbols today as we do the swastika.

Here's an article about a town in Canada that took back their name-
