2. Introduction Pakistan Zindabad  ( Urdu :  پاکِستان زِندہ‌باد,  transl.  "Long Live  Pakistan ") is a patriotic slogan used by  Pakistanis  in displays of  Pakistani nationalism . [1] [2]  The phrase became popular among the  Muslims  of  British India  after the 1933 publication of the " Pakistan Declaration " by  Choudhry Rahmat Ali , who argued that the Muslim minority in British India—particularly in the Muslim-majority regions of  Punjab ,  Afghania ,  Kashmir ,  Sindh , and  Baluchistan —constituted a nation of an irrevocably distinct nature from the rest of India on "religious, social, and historical grounds" owing primarily to the issue of  Hindu–Muslim unity . [3]  Ali's ideology was adopted by the  All-India Muslim League  as the " two-nation theory " and ultimately spurred the  Pakistan Movement  that led to the  partition of British India . During this time, "Pakistan Zindabad " became a widely used slogan and greeting within the Muslim League, [4]  and following the  creation of Pakistan , it was also used as a rallying cry by Muslims who were migrating to the newly independent state from India as well as by those who were already within Pakistan's borders. [5]  The slogan is commonly invoked by Pakistani citizens and Pakistani state institutions on national holidays, during times of armed conflict, and on other major occasions. [6]

3. Etymology The slogan is a use of the standard  Urdu and Persian  suffix  Zindabad  ( Long Live ) that is placed after a person or a country name. It is used to express victory, patriotism or as a prayer. [2] [7] [ failed verification ]  In literal translation,  Pakistan Zindabad  means "Long Live Pakistan"; it also is rendered as "Victory to Pakistan". [4] [8]

4. History The Pakistan Zindabad slogan was first raised during the Pakistan Movement. Muslims at that time often wrote the slogan on handkerchiefs or pillowcases. [9] [ better source needed ]  The slogan was equally heard as  Jai Hind  during a visit by a British parliamentary delegation led by  Robert Richards  to  Delhi , after the British government decided to leave  India . [10]  On 23 December 1940, the Bihar Muslim Student Federation passed a resolution to adopt  Pakistan Zindabad  as their national slogan at every meeting, conference or gathering. [11]  In 1941, during the days of the Pakistan Movement, Muhammad Ali Jinnah on a visit to  Ootacamund  was received by a crowd of Muslims chanting  Pakistan Zindabad ;  among them was a young boy of about 10 years age, who was scantily clothed. Jinnah called him and asked, "You were shouting Pakistan Zindabad , what do you know about Pakistan?" The boy replied, "I do not know very much about Pakistan. I only know that Pakistan means Muslim rule where many Muslims live, and Hindu rule where Hindus live," to which Jinnah observed that his message had reached the people and remarked that now the struggle for Pakistan was unstoppable. [12]

5. During the fight for an  independent  Pakistan the cry of  Pakistan Zindabad  was raised by the locals to welcome the refugees coming to Pakistan. [13]  The refugees also raised the cry in jubilation when they crossed the border. [14] [15]  The slogans of Pakistan Zindabad and its counterpart,  Hindustan Zindabad , notably found negative usage in communal riots associated with the fight for  independence . [16] [17] Jinnah announcing the creation of Pakistan over  All India Radio  on 3 June 1947. On 3rd June 1947, after an agreement for the Partition, the viceroy and the community leaders addressed the public on the radio. Jinnah ended his speech with  Pakistan Zindabad ! . Some listeners misunderstood his accented Urdu as the much informal "Pakistan's in the bag!". [18]  On 14 August 1947,  Muhammad Ali Jinnah 's motorcade was welcomed by shouts of  Pakistan Zindabad ,  Quaid -e- Azam   Zindabad  and flower petals all along his way from the Governor General's residence to the Constituent Assembly building and back, where he attended the Proclamation of Independence and a hoisting ceremony of the  Pakistan flag . [19 ]

6. Battle cry In 1947, during the  First Kashmir War , an outpost of the  Jammu and Kashmir State force  that were under the operational control of  Indian Army [20]  reported cries of  Pakistan Zindabad  coming from  Haji Pir Pass . Assuming that the pass was invaded and occupied by Pakistanis, the Jammu and Kashmir State forces withdrew from the area and burnt a strategically important bridge. They later discovered it was a false alarm; the men were friendly forces of the Indian Army occupying the pass, who were cut off from  Poonch  after the bridge was blown away. [21]

7. Notable usage The  Saudi King   Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz  in a meeting with  Chief of Army Staff   Ashfaq Pervez Kayani  repeatedly raised the slogan to show his friendship with Pakistan, during his visit to the country in 2009. [22]

8. Use in India [ edit ] On 6 July 1948, the  Indian Police  raided a brass merchant's shop in  Moradabad , after being informed that the shop had utensils with " Pakistan Zindabad " markings on them. [23]  During the  Muharram Processions  in 1956, following communal discord Muslim youths raised the slogan; later in the same year it was heard during a procession organized by students of the  Aligarh Muslim University , in protest against a book  Religious Leaders  published by  Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan ; however, raising of any  anti-nationalism  slogan was denied by  Maulana Abul Kalam Azad  in the Indian parliament. [24] [25]

9. The slogan has also been raised in  Indian-administered Kashmir  continuously. [26] [27] [28] ). [29]  In 1985, a Kashmiri was detained by the local police on a number of charges including raising of the slogan  "Pakistan Zindabad " , which was called an anti-national and provocative slogan. [30]  On 13 October 1983, during a  limited over cricket  match between  West Indies  and  India  at  Sher - i -Kashmir Stadium ,  Srinagar , spectators, including a group of spectators consisting of members of the Jamait-Tuleba , the student wing of the  Jamaat -e- Islami , cheered India's defeat with cries of  Pakistan Zindabad
