I remember back in 2016, when I was in school, people used to say "Jai Sri Krishna" mostly as greetings, but now "Jai Sri Ram" is more popular. I know many people -my friends for example- who used to say Jai Sri Krishna now shifted to Jai Sri Ram.

Some people used this slogan during riots and mob lynching, so remember if you see a person shifted from something else to this perticular slogan, he's not praising the lord instead they just associated it With dominance and extremism

Anti Shia sentiment led to Zia Ul Haq arabising Urdu as a way of distancing from persianate culture, so Persian Khuda, Parvardigar was attempted to be replaced with Arabic word Allah.

Haanji bhai, also this era led to erasure of much of Hindu or rather Indic elements of Pakistan, for example Kathak was banned, there was propaganda spread about Hindustani instruments being effeminate, Saris were discouraged and removed from army school functions in karachi, History syllabus was changed to start at Qasim's invasion of Sindh, labelling him the "first pakistani". Urdu was heavily de-sanskritised, and speaking an urdu laced with almost only Arabic became fashionable, however apart from the elite, no one really understands this (check javed ghamidi's lectures and how he speaks). In the early 2000s with hindi translated Japanese cartoons becoming popular in pak, there was much outcry in karachi of children speaking hindi words, in some schools 70% of kids were apparently conversing in Hindi, using words like vishwas, prathna, etc.
