Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The slogan 'Jai Hind' is famously attributed to Subhash Chandra Bose, who popularized it as a greeting and rallying cry for the Indian National Army (INA) and the Free India Centre in Germany [2]. While historical accounts suggest the phrase was originally coined by Chempakaraman Pillai in 1907 or suggested by Bose’s aide Abid Hasan Safrani, it was Netaji who transformed it into a nationalistic symbol of unity [1]. Regarding the other options, 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' was given by Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965. 'Bande Mataram' (Vande Mataram) was written by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in his novel Anandamath. 'Inquilab Zindabad' was coined by Maulana Hasrat Mohani and popularized by Bhagat Singh. Bose is also well-known for the slogan 'Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom'.
