Jai Jawan Jai Kisan (English: "Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer") was a slogan given to
India by the Prime Minister of India Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965 at a public gathering at
Ramlila Maidan, Delhi.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 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.
