It is my sincere wish Tibetans get their land back.

FN-2000, FN P-90 and FN SCAR.It is definitely a Indian Unit and i think i am seeing 3 different guns in that pic.

(FN-2000 and P-90 of course already in use in India by the SPG but this would be the first time the SCAR has been seen in Indian hands and this would be pretty big news).
The FN Herstal salesman has certainly paid them a visit
What makes you sure they are an Indian unit?

The pics of SG (appears twice) appears to be most certainly a little oldish. The kit, the rifles (both the FN 2000 and SCAR) look like the early models. My 2 cent intuition says the pics are from before when the SPG got their new kit (2004?). The other more interesting pic is the jungle one, the soldier on the right appears to be carrying what looks like either the MCIWS or the ARX 160.

Not necessarily, remember the SG is touted as the creme de la creme of Indian SF. They seem to get priority when it comes kit upgrades (First to handle Tavors). Going by that analogy, they probably got these helmets and rifles a few years before any of the other SF/CT units got (NSG in the last couple of years). In addition to this, the lack of a load carrying vest, knee/elbow pads which are now commonplace even with basic infantry suggests that the pics are from sometime back. Just speculation, I could be wrong tooThe helmet and gear are not that old.I would say 2 years old.
The soldier on the right is carrying a P 90. The MCIWS is still in development. Furthermore, the SCAR has only been in service since 2009.

P.S.: The pistol holsters too are another give away.

So,you are suggesting the SG had this gear and weapons in 2004 and the NSG (no.1 unit in hostage situation) and the Para SF waited for 26/11 to upgrade despite them having the same officers and other ranks.
I am not suggesting anything just citing my personal opinion based on observation and yes we all know the state of NSG pre 26/11 but PARAs not really, they've had relatively better weaponry (Tavors) and kit for a few years now (only relative to other Indian units).
Google SCAR L prototype, you'll see why I think the two pics are oldish.

I did say "relative to other units", but whatever.Paras were not well equipped before 26/11.They just had Tavors.
What's the background of this friend bro? How does he have such info?I had heard my friend once saying that NSG "may" go for SCAR and i am now very sure about this

Another pic of "Special Group":
+ bro as per my information SG is 100% made up of Indian SF operators, there is little Tibetan content in this unit.
