Why use the term, Royal Indian Army? Even though there were RIN and RIAF, it was never the Indian Army which was Royal but its units! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.180.42.63 (talk) 21:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

List of Field Marshals (India) → Field marshal (India) – Even though it is a list, tt is the standard naming convention followed while naming the articles related to a particular military rank of a country. Also the format is prose than a list. For example, Field marshal (United Kingdom), Field marshal (Serbia and Yugoslavia), Field marshal (Finland).

 * G'day, this seems like a reasonable move, IMO, given the precedent of the other articles. Given that there are only a couple of list items, it seems more of an article to me, anyway. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:11, 4 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Support: much less of a list than some of the 'non-list' article examples brought up by the nom. Ebonelm (talk) 13:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. A "list" of two isn't really a list. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:47, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Support: "List" is a misleading description of the content. Jellyman (talk) 08:28, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Sir Kodandera Madappa Cariappa
Why is he a SIR? There is nothing in his page that says he was knighted. I'm assuming this is a mistake? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.18.165.42 (talk) 08:14, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
