That's almost 2.5million men for Defence

Not to forget we also have 7lac men in reserves. the Army does like to keep a low profile when announcing its strength , thats why Assam Rifles and others though manned by army officers are classified as para units.

Dont forget around 50k army jawans retire every year , they can be mobilised asap . Fact is that we do not face any shortage of personnel .

During war the CRPF ,BSF, ASSAM RIFLES, RR, and other para military forces come under army command , and are used as a second line of defence.
