Indian armed force is made up three service branches,that includes Indian Air Force,Indian Navy and Indian army.
Indian Armed Force is supported by three para military force Assam Rifles, Indian Coast Guard and Special Front Force.
All of them are controlled by ministry of defence n Thier supreme commander is D president of india.
Article 53 (2) of the Indian Constitution declares: “Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provision, the supreme command of the Defence Forces of the Union shall be vested in the President and the exercise thereof shall be regulated by law”.
The Army is under First Citizen (President) so military rule is not possible in India.
Hence,indian army and other paramilitary forces are not controlled by just one ministry,so it's impossible to overthrow the government.
That makes it difficult bcoz indian army is large and distributed all over d india,so even if dey try to attack d local government,dey will have to eliminate d police forces of d state,(dey can defeat police easily but dey can't shoot 15,000–20,000) as it will create a big issue in world.
