Inquilab Zindabad (Urdu: اِنقلاب زِنده باد; Hindi: इंक़िलाब ज़िंदाबाद; Bengali: ইনকিলাব জিন্দাবাদ) is a South Asian phrase,[1][2][3] which translates to "Long live the revolution". Although originally the slogan was used by leftists in British India, today it is used in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan by civil society activists during protests as well as by politicians from various ideological backgrounds.[4][5][6][7][8]
