SG ranks above any of the Para SF units considering, SG consists of the best of the best coming from various SF units, obviously mostly from Para SF are in there.
SFF is a proper SF modeled along the lines of the Green Berets, they specialize in guerilla warfare and unconventional warfare while being the best high altitude and jungle warriors on the planet. It is quite ridiculous to down play them to an airborne unit. They are the only SF unit permanantly based at Siachen. They are trained extensively in amphibious ops as well. Many operators speak fluent Chinese, Tibetan, Pashto and other languages used around our country.
While Para SF has extensive plans for direct action, sabotage, raids in the Eastern theater, their plans don't include working with local resistance, it is not their tasking. SFF's key role is to act as a force multiplier by working with local resistance. SFF along with RAW maintains an extensive network of resistance fighters in TAR. There is a reason why Dalbir Singh became COAS even while others were more eligible. While being IG of SFF, he was key to restructuring the force into the cyanide tipped arrow that would stall any Chinese aggression to the East or Paki agression to the west.
In any war, whether east or west, they will be among the first to infiltrate into enemy territory in very small teams to activate sleeper cells, resistance nodes, co-ordinate sabotage actions, gather strategic/tactical intel, leade resistance fighters into raids etc (they have done this to excellent effect in the past). They also have a special tasking to assasinate military leadership with the help of RAW.
One must understand all SF units have different taskings. This allows Para SF to conduct it's ops without worrying about other aspects of the war. Garuds were also raised so IAF can prosecute it's own targets without having to rely on Para SF which was the case in the past.
It is quite silly to compare the SFF of 1962 to the force now.
There are also covert mixed teams depending on location, Alpha Group/ SG, Special Tactics Squadron/SG, ST6/Marcos, Delta/SG that have have a key role of going after Puki nuke bunkers if and when Puki nuke arsenal is in imminent danger of falling into the hands of radicals. Their strategic sites are monitored 24/7 by US, Russia and India.
