While traveling through North India, I found this quite interesting: Below are some of the slogans I saw at the back-side of many Indian vehicles, especially trucks and buses. Some of them are common slogans or signs that basically alert the approaching vehicle, such as ‘Horn Please’ or ‘Use Dipper at night’.
However, some of these signs are quite creative. Many of these slogans are supposed to be taunting remarks from faster drivers/vehicles as they pass by the slower ones.
Please note that in North India, where I noticed these signs, many are obviously influenced by the Punjabi cultures.
Here are the popular ones worth mentioning:
Milega Mukaddar
Chal Rani tera Rabb Raakhaa
Hatt Pichhe, Phir MilaaN ge
Papa Jaldi Ghar aa Jaana
Buri Nazar Valeh Tera Muh Kaalaah
Hun Tu Kaun te Main Kaun
Chalo ek Baar Phir se Ajnabi ban JaayeN
Zarra Hatt ke Laadli
Jatt Di Mercedez
Bye-Bye Ta-Ta
Chal Billo Tera Rabb raakhaa
Menu UdeekaaN TeriyaaN
Chann Pardesi
Akhiyaan Udeek Diyan
Jatt Risky after Whisky
Yaari Jatt Di
Ishareh Di Udeek Karo
Chal Chaliye Mele nu
Horn Please

oye thand rakh thand
jinna marzi paja lai manzil te pahuchavangi je pee ke chalayenga te dhool vich milavangi
buri nazran waleya tera v bhala hoye
main v kalla tu v kalli aapa mil jayiye te ho jaye balle balle
