Satyameva Jayate

Satyameva Jayate (; ) is a part of a ''mantra'' from the Hindu scripture ''Mundaka Upanishad''. Following the independence of India, it was adopted as the national motto of India on 26 January 1950, the day India became a republic. In the national emblem of India, it is inscribed in the Devanagari script below the Lion Capital of Ashoka and forms an integral part of the emblem. The emblem, including "Satyameva Jayate", is inscribed on one side of all Indian currency and national documents. Provided by Wikipedia
