As my argument. My support is that India has a better army in terms of equipment, training, numbers and weapons.
Pakistan did have qualitative eadge over Inida 5-10 years ago but thanks to Isreal and Russia, India has the qualtative edge. Here are the things to consider. The Indian army is armed with INSAS family rifles and LMG.

They are soon to acquire Isreal Torvak or something like that. Indian military is equiped with a wide variety of manpads from Russia and Isreal and some made in India. Some solidiers still use AK-47 rifles, that is because is has a lot more goods you can hook up. ie gernade launher. The Indian solideir is a lot more mobile than the Pakistani counterpart. There are a lot of vechiles in the Indian army for quick reaction. Any one know which company manufactures Indian military jeeps? is it TATA or Maruthi? And I don't understand the argument of which army is better fed?

As for hows training is better I would have to say both are the same. Indian army isn't a militia. Indian army have a lot more elite units that can operate behind enemy lines now.
ARMY
1)Para -Commando-(six battalions)..air , water and land operations
2)Ikwanns-local kashmiri SF unit,tasked to pentrate terrorist groups and obtain information
3)Special frontier force- strength around 10,000,mainly made up of tibetians although in recent times there have been men drawn from other units for this force, tasked with conducting intelligence and armed raids inside chinese territory.
4)SSB(special service bureau)very little is known about this unit other than it is mainly an intelligence force with a commando force of 3 battalions.
5)SG I ,II & III-being raised in Israel .Will operate along the lines of US delta Force . News reports earlier this year Mentioned SG III ( special group 3) operating in Kashmir but the Army is being extremely tight lipped about it.
6)Ghatak platoons-Every Infantry Battalion has 2-3 Ghatak Plattons which are SF uints for Recon/scout duties and for directing in artelliry
7)Romeo , Victor, Delta force-SOF units of RR which is primarily a paramillitary Org. but the SOF personal are drawn from the Army. COIN operations.
8)Ladhaak scouts-LRRP , Recon Unit used in High Altitude Warfare . Also known as the ' head Hunters' . While not strictly a SF unit . It is Special Operations Capable
NAVY
1)MARCOS-marine commando force, raised from officers who got training with the navy seals and the sas, unit strength around 2500?,divided into three groups with all land, sea and air capability and one group concentrating on CT.
2)UDT/combat divers- strength rightly around 100-150? unit is responsible for underwater warfare, mine laying, demolition etc. members drawn from marcos.
AIRFORCE
1)Alpha Unit-modeled along the lines of the u.s para rescue.Specializes in SAR operations ( behind eny lines during wartime) . This unit was raised about 2 years ago. Apart from a few news articles and press realeases from MOD no more Info on it... (same name as special forces unit of russian spetnaz)
2)Garuda-Unit will be raised soon . Will Act as combat controllers for Bombing missions and act as anti-insurgency force to protect vital airforce Installations, raised supposedly by israel
3)Special Aviation Squad-Unit yet to be raised. But will be the Dedicated Air Arm of the special Forces under its Unified Command. Along the Lines of the 160th Night Stalkers of the Us Army
NOTE-recently certain reports indicate that a unit will be raised from excisting sf dedicated to nuclear situations, they could be trained to take out nuclear facilities in enemy countries also to dismantle and de activate nuclear weapons from sizes ranging from that of a suitcase, a unit has been sent to the u.s for training, although the mod is very tight lipped.
My conculsion is India is better equiped and trianed.
you must mean iran.
