Jai Hind (Hindi: जय् हिन्द्, IPA: [dʒəj ɦɪnd]) is a salutation and slogan that originally meant "Victory to Hindustan",[1] and in contemporary colloquial usage often means "Long live India"[2] or "Salute to India". Coined by Champakaraman Pillai[3][4] and used during India's independence movement from British rule,[5][6] it emerged as a battle cry and in political speeches.[7]
