Hitler's goals were to
1) Unite all Germanic people - Aryan Race
2) acquire living space (Lebensraum) for them, and
3) Get rid of the German area of 'sub-human' races in order to maintain Germanic racial purity.
He killed many Jews across Europe. He killed his own German people whom he deemed, are not of Aryan race. He thought woman's only duty is to bore kids. He did what no one imagine can do. He was the cruelest of Cruel. Yet, He is a Hit and Strict parents and neighbours in India are compared to Hitler. Why?
He comes from a very poor and humble family. Yet, He had bigger plans. He wanted Bigger congregations, bigger war tanks. He wanted conquer the Europe. He wanted the show the mighty. He wanted to belittle every other race in the world. Yet, He is a Hit and Strict parents and neighbours in India are compared to Hitler. Why?
Bollywood movies were made taking his name. Chiranjeevi himself did make a movie 'Hitler' which was a super dupe hit and is a cult movie. One of the shops in Ahmedabad branded itself with the name of the Hitler. But Why?
Why is Hitler so famous in India? Every Tom, Dick and Harry uses his name to comment his strict neighbour and uncles/aunts.
Most of the analysis was that Indians do not know what Hitler did during world war II, they just know him as the ONE who wanted to conquer the world with big ambitions.
Well said and Analyzed, i found 3 things which stand out from my childhood education regarding Hitler.
First Thing,
We believed that Hitler loves India and was helping Subash Chandra Bose in attaining independence for India. SC Bose is one of the most Reversed Freedom fighters in India whose agenda was 'Give me Blood and I will give you freedom' He formed Azad Hind Fauj and Started war against Britain in India. He did not believe that non-violence is going to give us freedom. He did not have the patience to wait for Freedom when he can attain with brute force. As a Kid, Most of us get attracted to Violence. Though Violence does not stay with us while growing, the ideologies which supported Violence or any form of uprising stay with us, and we believe in it. I still Revere SC Bose the same I used to do in School. I revere SC Bose... Hitler friend of SC Bose, had no bad impact on me. You know Friend of a Friend is a friend.
Second Thing,
Somehow teachers used to portray Hitler in good sense. That he tried saving his Race. He loved Indians. He loved DhyanChand. Helped Indian National Army to fight against Britain. Even our social studies text books have excerpts which suggest the same. It kind of created positive views about him. They used to suggest to read Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' and Leo Tolstoys' 'War and Peace'. Though I never read both. Seriously, I did not know the kind of person Hitler was, till I was in grad school.
Third Thing,
Movies and Neighborhood. A strict Uncle/Teacher is called a Hitler. Hitler was synonymous with Discipline and Imposing Kind of Characters.Teachers and parent used to say 'You need a Hitler to set you right'. You start respecting such kind of person with fear though you develop hatred to such people in coming days.
Yeah those are the 3 reasons I think are basis for Hitler becoming a household name or Hit Name in India, my country.
Why SC Bose met Herr Hitler in Germany? Why SC Bose allied with Axis powers? What are Hitler's Views on Indians? What is Mein Kampf all about?
