I was wondering about the Indian Army. Why are the forces like BSF, ITBP, CRPF called paramilitary forces? In fact, what is the difference between military and paramilitary forces?
The term 'paramilitary' refers to forces that are organized similarly to a military force, but are not officially part of a country's armed forces. The main difference between military and paramilitary forces is that military forces are under the direct control of the country's government, while paramilitary forces are not.
