I didn't know than India has Marshal. Indian Air Force has two Marshals now?

Marshal of the IAF is a honorary title, a 5-star rank, equivalent to Field Marshal. Marshal Arjan Singh is the only IAF officer to date to hold that rank. He retired from active service in 1969 (he is 91 now).

Chief of IAF is Air Chief Marshal, a 4-star officer.

Yes, I had already checked all of them. But I didn't notice that Air Chief Marshal is a 4-star officer. I thought that was 5-star like Field Marshals. My mistake, thank you very much! I confused for a while with the ranks..

I've heard that India is the only country left with a non-ceremonial horse cavalry unit left. Any info on these guys?
