Swastika is religious symbol in India and many countries don't find it offensive but due to Nazi connection do a traveler will get in trouble if he carry anything with swastika in USA? Like a T-shirt, Tattoo or religious book with that logo? Do I need to hide it or avoid even carrying?

It is not illegal to display a swastika in the US; however, the symbol is generally understood in the US to be a symbol of Nazism and displaying it publicly is likely to be extremely hurtful to those around you (perhaps in particular members of groups targeted by Nazis), not to mention earn you significant unwanted attention. If it is on a religious book and it is clear that it is a religious symbol unrelated to the Nazi party, then that is more likely to be OK. I would definitely avoid wearing it on a t-shirt or displaying a swastika tattoo.
