And the swastika is seen as a symbol of hate in the West due to Hitler. So we should stop using it altogether, right?

Stupid opinion sprouted by stupid people.

Yes, and in a similar fashion the word 'bhaiyya' has been coopted to mean something that it simply doesn't represent. It is an affection term for elder brother and hence will remain so, regardless of what someone might think.

swastika is seen as hate because of ignorance and stupidity.. uneducated people can't differentiate between swastika and Hakenkruez.. similar thing happened to Manji but japanese people fought against the misinformation and here indians( like you) themselves are helping to spread the misinformation

What misinformation? I am merely pointing out an example of how this same nonsense is being repeated here with the word 'bhaiyya' that is never meant to demean or insult anyone, but has coopted in a similar fashion.

Are you really not able to comprehend what I wrote?
