Jai Masih Ki (Template:Lang-hi, Template:Lang-ur, translation: Victory to Christ)[1] is a Hindi-Urdu greeting phrase used by Christians of the Indian subcontinent.[2] Its use by individuals identifies an individual as a Christian, in a region where greetings based on religion are customary.[2] The phrase has been incorporated into several Christian hymns.[3]

But they prefer "jai masih ki." Or older people prefer "salaam." ... In the northwest, as elsewhere in India, people's form of greeting often identifies the community from which a person comes. Because of this, Christians are often taught to say "Jai Masih ki" as a distinct form of greeting.
