Jai Hind

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jai Hind (Devanagari: जय हिंद) is a salutation most commonly used in India in speeches and communications pertaining to or referring to patriotism towards India (also known as Hind). It means roughly "Victory to India" or "Long live India". The Indian freedom fighter Dr. Champakaraman Pillai introduced the salutation. It has since captured the imagination of Indians and has been immortalised by Subhash Chandra Bose as the battle cry of the Indian National Army.

Famous Freedom Fighter Sri Ramchandra Moreshwar Karkare <Advocate> of Gwalher Madhya Bharat, from inspiration of Netaji S. C. Bose, had written and published a Drama-(Natak)in Hindi, a very popular book, Jai Hind.

Jawaharlal Nehru also used Jai Hind to conclude his speech The Light Has Gone Out, after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
