In Popular Culture

A follower of S.C. Bose, Ramchandra Moreshwar Karkare of Gwalher Madhya Bharat, wrote a patriotic drama Jai Hind based on facts and published a book in Hindi, Jai Hind. Later, Ramchandra Karkare became Congress president of Central India Province. He took part in the freedom struggle with Chandrasekhar Azad.

The phrase is what the radio announcer says on All India Radio at the end of the broadcast. The term occurs in the patriotic song Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo sung by Lata Mangeshkar in 1963. Jai Hind (1999) is also a Hindi film, made by actor-director Manoj Kumar. The comedy show Jay Hind! (2009) is also named after it, and numerous institutions like Jai Hind College, Mumbai, as well as media entities like Jai Hind Gujarati Newspaper and JaiHind TV.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:

    The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
    Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)

    All official institutions of language are repeating machines: school, sports, advertising, popular songs, news, all continually repeat the same structure, the same meaning, often the same words: the stereotype is a political fact, the major figure of ideology.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
