Default Para Badge India
Has anyone seen this badge before .
My father was in the Paras but never saw any badges with India on them .
Is this badge just a made up version or was there ever a Para badge with India on it ?

Oh it was real alright! The 50th (Indian) Parachute Brigade and then the enlarged 44th Indian Airborne Division 50th & 77th (Indian) Parachute Brigades wore it along with INDIA pegasus arm flashes.

It's doubtful [by your pictures] that your example is genuine.
