The officer ranks of our Indian army by and large match with those of Western militaries and are a replica of British military ranks. However, traditional British names for ranks are still being used in India, along with the western names for those respective ranks.
Field Marshal is an honorary rank. It does not exist in present army organisation structure; however two distinguished officers of the Indian armed forces have been conferred with the rank. |
