"Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" slogan was given by the former Prime Minister of India, Late Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965. It means hail the soldier and hail the farmer. Soon after Shastri took over as the Prime Minister of India after Nehru's death; India was attacked by Pakistan. At the same time there was scarcity of food grains in the country. Shastri gave the slogan "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" to enthuse the soldiers to defend India and simultaneously cheering farmers to do their best to increase the production of food grains to reduce dependence on import .It became a very popular slogan.
