This patriotic song Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja, originally the regimental quick march of the Indian National Army of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and written by Vanshidhar Shukla & composed by Ram Singh Thakuri in 1942, was banned by the British post-WWII for being seditious. The ban was lifted in August 1947, and it has since become a patriotic anthem in India. It has been reinterpreted by various musicians, including C. Ramachandra, A. R. Rahman for movie Bose – The Forgotten Hero (2004), and recently by Indraadip Dasgupta for the film Gumnaami (2019). It is now the regimental quick march of the Indian Army.

क़दम क़दम बढ़ाए जा लिरिक्स हिन्दी
क़दम क़दम बढ़ाये जा
ख़ुशी के गीत गाये जा
ये ज़िंदगी है क़ौम की
तू क़ौम पे लुटाये जा
तू शेर-ए-हिन्द आगे बढ़
मरने से तू कभी न डर
उड़ा के दुश्मनों का सर
जोश-ए-वतन बढ़ाये जा
कदम-कदम बढ़ाये जा…

चलो दिल्ली पुकार के
क़ौमी-निशाँ संभाल के
लाल क़िले पे गाड़ के
लहराये जा लहराये जा
कदम-कदम बढ़ाये जा…
