As we know that there are various regiments in the Indian Army and every regiment has its own motto and war cry. Regiments of the Indian Army originated during the colonial era under British rule. With the aim of administering every part of India in an efficient manner, the British took the help of locals to form a force under their command. Regiments were established on the lines of military history, ethnicity, and caste. Each regiment is distinguished on the basis of uniform, tradition, ceremonies, and regimental pride.

Among all, Madras Regiment in 1758 is considered to be the earliest Infantry Regiment formed before the independence of India.
