User:Winged Blades of Godric/Jai Shri

Jai Shri Ram is a Sanskrit expression, translating to "Glory to Lord Rama". The expression attracted notability after the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) embraced the slogan in the late 20th century, for increasing the visibility of Hinduism in public spaces and went on to leverage it as a war-cry, for perpetration of communal atrocities against people of other faiths. The proclamation has been also used as an informal greeting or as a symbol of adhering to Hindu faith or for projection of varied faith-centered emotions  , by Hindus in recent past.

Usage
The expression was popularized by the BJP-Vishva Hindu Parishad combine in the late 1970s, as the Indian society experienced extensive Hindui-sation.
