EVOLUTION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF "JAI JAWAN JAI KISAN"

 UPSC GS MAINS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS


Write a critical note on the evolution and significance of the slogan

 "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan".


The slogan "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" was given by Lal Bahadur Shastri during his prime minister ship.





Soon after Shastri took over the prime minister ship of India after Nehru's death,  India was attacked by Pakistan in 1965. Also India was suffering from drought year and huge shortage of food grains. Therefore the slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kisan highlighted the significance of soldiers and peasants in the country.

 While the soldiers were securing the frontiers from her enemy, the peasants were struggling to provide nation with enough food grains. Therefore the slogan, "hail solider hail farmer" signified the national mood of the time.



India was surrounded by hostile neighbours on two fronts i.e. China in the North East and Pakistan in the North West. Besides the cold war politics was further complicating the situation in the Indian Sub- Continent. Therefore India needed to boost the morale of its soldiers and strengthened our armed forces. Hence the slogan "JAI JAWAN".



At the same time India was facing twin droughts. Indian Economy of the time was dominated by agriculture and that too was at a primitive stage. Green revolution was yet to come to India. Area under cultivation had remained more or less same while the population has increased significantly. Therefore to fees such a large population was a big challenge for Indian peasants.





Besides USA was consistently threatening to cancel the food aid provided under PL- 480 programme so as to weaken India's stand on Kashmir. This way the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation was under threat. Therefore it was necessary to boost the morale and confidence of farmers and to highlight their role in Indian state. Hence the slogan "JAI KISAN".
