Beyond India's Motto : Bharat Mata ki Jai

Victory to Mother India
"Bharat Mata ki Jai" which implies "Victory for Mother India" is India's widely used slogan in the current 21st Century. After coming into presence after the First Indian Independence movement, in 1857 against the British. 

The portrayal of Bharat Mata was first comprehended to be a manifestation of the territory of India as concocted by Bankimchandra Chatterjee in his nationalistic novel, Anand Math in 1882.

This widely adopted slogan is primarily used by the Indian Army as well as most of the Right-wing political parties of India, earning broadly vogue after the installation of Hindu Mahasabha and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and during the Indo-Pak War, across a surge of patriotic harmony among the masses.



While India's official motto; Satyamev Jayate
(transl. Truth Alone Triumphs)
has become partly withered in today's time making Bharat Mata ki Jai the de facto accepted saying of India.
