Qadam Qadam badaye ja - Wikipedia Qadam Qadam badaye ja `` Qadam Qadam Badhaye Ja '' March by Ram Singh Thakur Written 1942 Text by Pt. Vanshidhar Shukla Language Devanagari, Hindi `` Qadam Qadam Badhaye Ja '' ( Hindi : क़दम क़दम बढ़ाये जा ) was the regimental quick march of the Subhas Chandra Bose 's Indian National Army. Written by Pt. Vanshidhar Shukla and composed by Ram Singh Thakuri, it was banned in India after World War II as `` seditious '', which was subsequently lifted in August 1947. The song has since become a patriotic song in India, and has been re-interpreted by various Indian musicians including C. Ramachandra and A.R. Rahman. The song is currently the regimental quickmarch of the Indian Army.
