Its use started even before the creation of Pakistan, during the later phase of the Pakistan Movement. The slogan became a battle cry and greeting for the Muslim League, which was struggling for an independent country for the Muslims of British Raj, when World War II ended and the independence movement geared up. During the partition of British India, the slogan was shouted when trains transporting Muslims entered Pakistan. Pakistan Zindabad is the national slogan of Pakistan.
