@@BaconSenpai Yes Hindu, Sikh, Bhudhist and Jain all will keep that flag. Because Swastika is our holy symbol. We never saw western world abandon Cross because christian killed many during crusade or KKK are using cross. ISIS used Islamic Kalma and that is not banned. Next question?

I guess I should have clarified, a Nazi flag

@Bacon Yes, because if the flag offended you in the first place you don't accept it. I also love how you're equating a buddha statue with a nazi flag.

The bronze statue are made in Nepal, you can find these statue in Tibet is because since long time Nepal export these different Mahayana buddhism statue for trade. I know this because I am from the family that produce these arts. Tibet and the indigenous people of Kathmandu i.e. Newar are the only Mahayana buddhism followers remaining in the world. If you visit Nepal you can explore these god in big size from 7ft to 12ft dated back about 1000years as this is a part of the culture that we indigenous people from Kathmandu follow.
