Indian Special Forces

Hey guys, I just bought this Palm Frond coverall made in 1990, would anyone be able to tell me what units (I'm guessing paratroopers) were issued this? If anyone has any pictures of this Palm Frond colorway in use, I would be very interested in seeing them.

The palm frond pattern was widely seen on the IPKF troops stationed in Sri Lanka.
I have seen the Maratha Light Infantry use these as well. Apart from them, these were widely seen
in other regiments on the field before the current woodland pattern became the 'norm'

Thank you for the very informative reply! Would you happen to know if there are any active units that still wear overalls in this pattern?

Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi gets SPG protection because they are related to former PM Rajiv Gandhi.

Bro this guy is not an SF operator. He's an instructor in SFTS, Nahan. His name is Kanishka Sharma. Quite a stellar guy. He has the sole authority to teach Pekiti Tirsia Kali to all SF including Marcos, Garuds, Para (SF). Also he has taught NSG and other law enforcement agencies. He was also the first Indian ever to study Shaolin Kung Fu at the Shaolin temple itself.

Afterall it was Rajiv Gandhi's assasination which led to the creation of SPG. May be it's a token of love by SPG. :lol: Besides Congress is still relevant in Rajya Sabha and GOI is desperate to get GST bill passed.

Dude don't give out names and details like that, please delete your post.
He's not a secret guy. This guy works with Bollywood actors too. The entire fight sequence of the movie Don was directed by him. :lol:

he don't train marcos... marcos trainers have military background and also they kept their training secret. Kanishka Sharma posts photo of training of special forces in his web site. marcos won't allow this.. they always kept civilians away from their training centers..

Like I said, their cover is subject to annual/semi-annual reviews so if the threat perception is still high the SPG cover will remain. However, they should be given Z/Y cover now, having to cover 3 Gandhis with SPG protection (and all the perks this brings) is very costly.

Afterall it was Rajiv Gandhi's assasination which led to the creation of SPG. May be it's a token of love by SPG. :lol: Besides Congress is still relevant in Rajya Sabha and GOI is desperate to get GST bill passed.
SPG was not created after Rajiv's assasination, they were raised in 1985.
