Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister of India, introduced the iconic slogan "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" during his tenure.
The slogan resonated deeply with the Indian populace and served as a motivational message during a crucial period. It was launched in 1965 during the Indo-Pak War, when India faced external challenges, and it was intended to boost the morale of the armed forces and the general population.
