Haryana Schools To Replace 'Good Morning' with 'Jai Hind'

Starting this Independence Day, students in Haryana will greet their teachers and classmates with "Jai Hind" instead of "Good morning." This big change comes from a new rule made by the state's education department. The education department sent a letter to all school leaders in Haryana on Thursday. The letter says this new way of saying hello will help students feel more love for their country. It will also teach them about India's history and make them proud to be Indian.

"Jai Hind" is a special greeting in India. It was first used by Subhas Chandra Bose, a famous freedom fighter. After India became free, the army, navy, and air force started using it too. Now, Haryana wants school kids to use it every day. 

The letter explains why "Jai Hind" is a good choice. It says this greeting can unite all students, no matter where they're from or what language they speak at home. The education department thinks saying "Jai Hind" will remind students of the brave people who fought for India's freedom. Another reason for this change is to make students more disciplined. The letter points out that soldiers and police officers use "Jai Hind," and they're known for being very disciplined. The education department hopes that using this greeting will help students become more orderly too. 

The new rule isn't just about changing words. The education department believes it will help keep Indian culture alive. They think it's important for young people to know and respect old Indian traditions.

Some people might wonder why a simple "hello" needs to change. The education department says "Jai Hind" is special because it can inspire students. They hope it will make young people think about how they can help make India better when they grow up. This new rule will affect all schools in Haryana. This includes both government schools and private schools. Teachers, principals, and students will all need to get used to saying "Jai Hind" instead of "Good morning."

The change is set to begin on August 15th, which is India's Independence Day. This date was chosen on purpose to make the new greeting even more meaningful. As news of this change spreads, people are talking about it. Some think it's a great idea to boost patriotism. Others wonder if changing a greeting is the best way to teach about loving one's country.

No matter what people think, one thing is clear: when school starts after Independence Day in Haryana, mornings will sound very different. Instead of "Good morning," the halls will echo with "Jai Hind," a call that carries the weight of India's history and hopes for its future.
