Subhas Chandra Bose introduced ‘Jai Hind’ during the 1940s to instill a sense of pride and collective identity among the soldiers of the Azad Hind Fauj. Originally coined by Zain-ul-Abideen Hasan, Bose adopted it to replace communal greetings, fostering a secular and patriotic spirit. The slogan quickly transcended the military and became a rallying cry for the Indian masses during the final phase of the independence struggle. Today, ‘Jai Hind’ stands as a powerful symbol of national sovereignty and remains the official greeting used by Indian political leaders and military personnel.
