Inquilab Zindabad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inquilab Zindabad (Urdu: اِنقلاب زِنده باد; Hindi: इंक़लाब ज़िन्दाबाद) is a Hindustani phrase,[1][2][3] which translates to "Long live the revolution".

History[]

This slogan was coined by the Urdu poet, Indian freedom fighter and a leader of the Indian National Congress Maulana Hasrat Mohani in 1921.[4][5][6] It was popularized by Bhagat Singh (1907–1931) during the late 1920s through his speeches and writings.[7] It was also the official slogan of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association,[7][8] as well as a slogan of the All India Azad Muslim Conference.[9] In April 1929, this slogan was raised by Bhagat Singh and his associate B. K. Dutt who had shouted this after bombing the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi.[10] Later, for the first time in an open court, this slogan was raised in June 1929 as part of their joint statement at the High Court in Delhi.[7][11] Since then, it became one of the rallying cries of the Indian independence movement. In Indian political novels chronicling the independence movement, a pro-independence sentiment is often characterized by characters shouting this slogan.[12]
