editThis is not original research. This is common knowledge in India. I dont know how sources can be cited for this. There is also a film named after this phrase.
The constitution of England is not written. It is common knowledge. Similarily this too is. 71.90.100.176 (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC
- By original research, we mean that yours is the only unique writing on the subject and it is not referenced to writing either by academic researchers or journalists. This implies that Wikipedia is being used for publishing an original work. This is not Wikipedia is about. It is an encyclopedia. Please read through this section to understand the issue better.

Horn OK Please
editThis is the common writing on the TATA trucks in India. TATA used this as an advertising media for the detergent soap named "OK" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.222.11 (talk) 22:53, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
- I've never seen a soap named OK in India till date. Horn OK Please is a common phrase across all trucks, be it Tata, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra or whatever. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 21:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
My own questioning of this in the 1960s was that the "On Kerosene" was abbreviated to "OK" purely to warn refuellers to use kerosene and not something else such as diesel or gasoline. I have not found any written evidence to support this. Kerosene is less volatile than gasoline, so the signage was not intended to warn others of any danger. --Ash (talk) 06:00, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
