I may be wrong, but isn’t that the one in the bottom second from the left?
I was trying to make a dumb joke about how in many Asian cultures you’ll see a swastika or manji used in a Hindu or Buddhist context, but Hindutvas put them in a religious and fascist context.
That’s a Falun Gong symbol. The swastika is largely not a political symbol in India. You will see the swastika over just about every Hindu house’s door and in temples.
The main Hindutva symbols are a lotus and the color Saffron. Some will invoke the god Rama infront of minorities to provoke them. There have been instances of some reactionaries shouting “jai Shri Ram” in front of Muslims or forcing Muslims to say that. And of course, there is the Ram temple controversy in Ayodhya, which propelled the BJP to power in the first place.
Another symbol is a bulldozer because the BJP bulldozes the homes of any Muslim who opposes them.
What?

Ah, my bad then. Thanks for the correction!
