Jai Hind postmark

The mark was withdrawn from Girdikot in April 1949, but was reused in June 1949 in Jodhpur Post Office in a new format of a rectangular box measuring 51 mm x 26 mm which reads "Jai Hind" in English and Hindi in two lines, with the date, time and place in 3rd, 4th and 5th line respectively.

The time and date are flanked with 3 wavy lines on each side.

The term was coined by Major Abid Hasan Safrani of the Indian National Army as a shortened version of Jai Hindustan Ki and apparently first used & popularised by Chembakaraman Pillai.

[1][2] The term Jai Hind was used widely by Indian National Army.

The term itself was adopted by Free India as National Slogan of the country.
