Lal Bahadur Shastri gave the iconic slogan 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' (Hail the Soldier, Hail the Farmer) in 1965 during the Indo-Pak war. This slogan recognized two crucial pillars of Indian society - the soldiers defending the nation and farmers feeding it. It came during a time of simultaneous crisis: war with Pakistan and food scarcity.
