In Pakistan, this phrase is almost synonymous with national pride, especially in the context of cricket matches against India or border tensions. It's a 'heroic' phrase. Used frequently in 'Mushairas' (poetry gatherings) when one poet gives a better verse in response to another's challenge. Action movies often use this as a catchphrase for the hero before the final fight scene. Used among South Asian expatriates when discussing tough market competition or standing up to unfair bosses.
