[non-COVID content] About a year ago I moved to Shivaji Park. Noticed a building in the area with a peculiar name.
A simple google search shows that& #39;s it& #39;s a non-descript town in Germany. It came up in conversation with a friend, who said that & #39;back in the day& #39; brahmin Nazi sympathisers were aplenty, as they bought into Hitler& #39;s notion of superior and inferior races.
So like, adapting German words and icons apparently became a thing? Like, look at this plaque that& #39;s *pretty* visible, right in the middle of Mahim causeway

Sorry I took the picture from a moving car but in the brackets it says German Parkar Chowk.
And this, the piece de resistance (pun extremely not intended). Like, I know the swastika is a common Hindu symbol but the tilted one? There& #39;s only one place that& #39;s famously used.
Anyway, my plan was to walk around dadar and hopefully find more stuff like this, but I guess that& #39;ll have to wait. If you know anything about this please tell!!! I& #39;m utterly fascinated.
