Lee Enfield Rifle.
Didn't the Indian Army field this rifle ... and what is their standard issue today?

Have you heard about Indian Army's
Counterinsurgency and Jungle Warfare SchoolEven some of the US Special Forces have received they training at this highly reputed CI school. The French and Italians are requesting similar access. All special forces like Indian Army's Paratroops, Indian Navy's Marine Commandos and IAF's Garud and SFF/ITBP commandos go through extensive training here.

The ITBP are not exactly “troops”-they are separate federal police force with no attachment to the military which was originally formed to patrol the Indo-Tibetan border.In recent years,they have also been tasked with VIP protection & also given specialised anti-terrorist training.They are being sent to Afghanistan to protect Indian aid workers who are engaged in reconstruction efforts.
To: Springman
Pakistan cannot have much of a problem-the ITBP are,in this case,say,more closer to the the American Diplomatic Security Service than to the US Marines.
To: mylife
Interesting. Looks like they mixed design elements of the FAL, Galil/AK and Daewoo.
Definitely FAL’s they are carrying in the marching pic though.

Yes, they used the Lee Enfield for quite a while. I think the Ishipore arsenal actually rechambered some from .303 Brit to 7.62 NATO which you can now find as surplus here.
