Field Marshal (India)
This article is nominated for deletion as I could find no evidence that the rank has ever in fact existed. During World War II, some British Generals were referred to as "Field marshals of the Indian Army" but were simply British Field Marshals in command of Indian troops. In addition, this is a one line article created by an anon user with no sources provided. -Husnock 17:32, 5 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. Documented rank in the Indian Army, with two holders: Field Marshal Padma Vibushan Somasji Hormuzji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw, and Field Marshal Kodandera Madappa Cariappa (source).


 * Send to cleanup. Google search confirms many instances. Still, the article is way to short to be useful in its current form. Mistercow 21:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Real and notable position but article is too short to be useful in its current form. Capitalistroadster 02:00, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
