Jo Dridh rakhe dharm ne, Tahi rakhe kartar

Jo Dridh rakhe dharm ne, Tahi rakhe kartar (जो दृढ राखै धर्म ने, तिहीं राखै करतार)
"जो दृढ राखै धर्म को, तिहीं राखै करतार"
ये शब्द मेवाड़ के बारे में कहे जाते हैं एवं  दक्षिण राजस्थान के प्राचीन "मेवाड़ राज्य" के राज्य चिन्ह में अंकित शब्द हैं जो मवाड़ की स्वतंत्रता प्रियता एवं धर्म पर दृढ रहने को स्वयंमेव ही स्पष्ट करता है । मेवाड़ के महाराणाओं ने मुग़ल बादशाहों के पास जाकर उनका विशेष कृपापात्र बनाना उचित नहीं समझा व अपना गौरव बनाये रखा |
It is believed that the slogan Jo dridh rakhe dharm ne, tahi rakhe kartar was spoken by Abdur Rahim Khankhana, who is also known as "Rahim das" in Hindi poetry.
