[quote=Anonymous]Canadian here who has lived in Dubai - As you know, a lot of the service staff in the UAE are from India, Sri Lanka etc. The swastika in Sanskrit means well-being, and is often placed or written above the door to invite luck and prosperity into the home. I think it’s really suspicious this was placed above your door after you moved in, when you are clearly not Indian, however do they know for sure you are Jewish? I remember being really shocked when I saw the swastika above doors in Indonesia, the Maldives, and the UAE, but for Hindus this is a sign of peace…… HOWEVER, most people also understand the connotations and it’s not as popular as it used to be.
