National Motto - Satyameva Jayate


Interestingly many countries like Japan, China, Russia don't have National Motto.
National motto is essentially printed on currency notes.
  • Just like our Indian Rupee notes have  सत्यमेव जयते  below the national symbol (4 lions)
  • Similarly US dollars we can see "In God we Trust" a very interesting one to me being so advanced in technology. 
  • Nepal too has interesting (familiar phrase to Indians) - जननी जन्मभूमिष्च स्वर्गादपि गरियसि (Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargadapi Gariyasi)

The comprehensive list of national mottos is here on Wikipedia
