Aam Aadmi (Hindi: आम आदमी, Urdu: ) — literal translation: "common man" (''ām'' meaning common + ''ādmī'' meaning man) — is a Hindustani colloquial expression and the equivalent of "the Average Joe." The Indian National Congress based its 2004 election campaign on the ''aam aadmi'' theme. The party's slogan for the election was ''Congress ka Haath, Aam Aadmi ke Saath'' ("the hand of the Congress is with the common man"). In 2007, the Congress launched its ''Aam Aadmi Ka Sipahi'' ("the Common Man's Soldier") campaign to popularize the programmes of its UPA government. The expression was also adopted by the Aam Aadmi Party, formed in 2012. At that time, the Congress objected to the newly formed party's name, claiming that the ''aam aadmi'' has been synonymous with the Congress since 1885. "Mango man" is an absurd translation of the phrase (''aam'' also translates to "mango"). In 2012, Robert Vadra was criticized by activists, when he mocked them as "mango men in banana republic". In 2014, the new prime minister Modi directed that Air India change its long-standing Maharaja logo for one utilising ''aam aadmi''. ==See also== * Joe Bloggs — used in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom * Tom, Dick and Harry 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「aam aadmi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
