Jai Masih Ki (Hindi: जय मसीह की, Urdu: جے مسیح کی, translation: Victory to Christ or Praise the Messiah)[1] or Jai Yeshu Ki (Hindi: जय येशु की, Urdu: جے یسوع کی, translation: Victory to Jesus or Praise Jesus) are Hindi-Urdu greeting phrases used by Christians in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent.[2][3] Their use by individuals identifies a person as a Christian, in the region of North India and Pakistan where greetings based on religion are customary.[2] The phrases have been incorporated into several North-Indian Christian hymns.[4] In response to what is perceived as a victory for the Christian community, many believers use the salutation to praise God, such as when Asia Bibi was allowed to appeal her case to the Supreme Court of Pakistan.[5]
