Dear Avvinash,
There is a very long of the abbreviation SOS., but I think, you want to know about SOS message or a distress call that represents about the "Save Our Souls/Ship" (Hamaari Doobti naiyya ko bachao).
About its history, SOS is the commonly used description for the international Morse code (telegraphic code) distress signal (• • • — — — • • •). This distress signal was first adopted by the German government in radio regulations effective April 1, 1905, and became the worldwide standard under the second International Radiotelegraphic Convention, which was signed on November 3, 1906 and became effective on July 1, 1908. SOS remained the maritime radio distress signal until 1999, when it was replaced by the Global Maritime Distress Safety System SOS is still recognized as a visual distress signal
