Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja wasn’t just a patriotic song from Samadhi (1950), but it was also the
regimental quick march of Subhas Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army. It was
penned by Pt Vanshidhar Shukla and composed by Captain Ram Singh Thakuri.
Retaining the
hook [“Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja, Khushi Ke
Geet Gaaye Ja, Yeh Zindagi Hai Kaum Ki, Tu Kaum Pe Lutaaye Ja” (Move forward,
singing songs of joy. This life belongs to our motherland. Sacrifice it for her)],
Rajinder Krishan penned C Ramchandra’s reinterpretation of the song. The latter
(credited as Chitalkar) sang it.
