There is a basic difference between the Parachute Regiment and the Para Cdo. The Paras are Airborne Infantry tps whereas the Para CDos are Special Forces lihe the MARCOS & US Navy SEALS. Both are trained to very high standards; but have differing op roles, employability and training. callmetarantula
There's a lot of background and origins info in the page Parachute Regiment (India), but seems to be unreferenced and not very well structured.
This page is well structured but could also do with some of the background info that is contained in the page Parachute regiment page since they're on the same subject. I am proposing a merger. Ranam 15:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Para Commandos indicates a specialty in the Indian Army. The Parachute Regiment is an individual regiment which needs its own seperate page Hammersfan 20.20 BST, 10/9/06
though the Para Cdos are part of the Parachute regiment. but they consider themselves a breed apart, and they are right in doing so. they only wear the maroon beret common to all paratroopers in the indian army. but they are far better than the normal airborne units. so the two articles should remain sperate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.94.98.105 ( talk • contribs)

Image:CommandoPatch.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Where are the sources for the actions of para commandos? These all may be true, but I'm unable to figure out the source, can somebody tell me? Anurag2k12 ( talk) 19:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Contrary to popular belief I am not a total wanker, see Prepare Or Perish: A Study of National Security Lancer p214 to cover some of what I reverted out. Darkness Shines ( talk) 18:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

'Para Commandos' are currently referred to as 'Special Forces' and sometimes 'Para-Special Forces' or 'Para-SF', something which is reflected in the Parachute Regiment (India) article and what I believe is the Parachute Regiments official website, along with articles like these: [1], [2], [3] Myopia123 ( talk) 22:22, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move the page to Para (Indian Special Forces), per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 04:50, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Para Commandos (India) → Para (Special Forces) – 'Para Commandos' are currently referred to as 'Para (Special Forces)' and sometimes 'Para-SF', something which is reflected in the Parachute Regiment (India) article and what I believe is the Parachute Regiments official website, along with articles like these: [4], [5], [6] – . Para Commandos (India) is about the Special Forces of the Parachute Regiment. These special forces used to be referred to as 'Para Commandos' but were renamed as Para Special Forces, as stated in the links above AND in the Parachute Regiment (India) article in "Strength" section. The pictures in the article are of 9 Para Battalion, which is designated as a Para (Special Forces) battalion in the Parachute Regiment (India). 'Para Commandos' no longer exist in the Indian Army. They are all 'Para Special Forces'. – Myopia123 ( talk) 16:12, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
I believe I have provided sufficient information from Reliable Sources, including the Parachute Regiment's own website. This is purely a technical matter. Myopia123 ( talk) 22:45, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello @
Adamgerber80:. So this is what was undone by you -
Other operations
The Para (Special Forces) have been involved in various other operations such as Operation Sarp Vinash in Jammu and Kashmir in 2003. For this operation Sanjog Chhetri of the 9 PARA (Special Forces) was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra.
Old Revision History -
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Para_(Special_Forces)&oldid=829299768
This had three links to other pages in wikipedia such as
Operation Sarp Vinash and
Sanjog Chhetri. Now before making this change on this page I had expanded those pages with relevant citations. I saw that it was missing on the Para (SF) page so I decided to add it. Now I did add the links but yes, I forgot to add citations. But this was an honest overlook and I really think anyone else could have also added at least one more citation since the links were already provided if it being unsourced was the criteria for removal.
Nevertheless, considering all guidelines the relevant citations for this are easily accessible already on
Operation Sarp Vinash and
Sanjog Chhetri wiki pages relevant this para sf page.
So now can I add back the line and heading since there are enough citations and I won't forget to put them now?

Hi @ DBigXray:, I am not sure if youtube in general, and that one in particular is an acceptable source here. We might have to look for another source, ideally a book given the timeline. Adamgerber80 ( talk) 20:26, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
