JAI JAWAAN, JAI KISAAN, JAI VIGYAAN
“Jai Jawaan, Jai Kisaan” (“Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer”) was a slogan of the second Prime Minister of India Lal
Bahadur Shastri in 1965. Soon after Shastri took over the prime ministership of India after Nehru’s death, India was
attacked by Pakistan. At the same time, there was a scarcity of food grains in the country. Lal Bahadur Shastri gave the
slogan “Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan” to encourage the soldiers to defend India and simultaneously cheering farmers to do
their best to increase the production of food grains to reduce dependence on imports. It became a very popular slogan.
After the Pokhran nuclear tests were carried out in May 1998, India’s former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee
improvised on the same slogan and said, “Jai Jawaan, Jai Kisaan, Jai Vigyaan” (“Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer, Hail
Science”). In May 1998, a series of five nuclear bomb test explosions were conducted in India at Indian Army’s Pokhran
Test Range, Operation Shakti. This was India’s second successful nuclear test.
