No, the SEALs are specialists, whereas Marines are standard military - excellent standard - but the SEALs have gone far ahead of them in their training.
It honestly depends on what the SEALS are being compared to. In the sake of comparison, take a normal Administrative Marine (this is not due to bias) who may have never been deployed, not received any advanced degree in combat training aside from what we learn through boot camp and MCT, and is generally too busy with duties to advance him or herself in their knowledge and training. We'll call this our mediocre Marine. Compared to say a standard Navy enlisted man or woman whom fulfills the same billet or job, and rest assured the Marine will be better trained for combat in almost every instance. Take that same Marine and compare him to a Navy SEAL who has undergone extensive combat, survival and self defense training, and the SEAL will be the one who will be better suited for combat instances. However, take a top echelon Marine, say one that has been through Force Recon training who puts extreme emphasis on his personal level of training and fitness, and there isn't really anything on the face of this earth, short of a biomechanical robot made specifically for combat, that will be considered better trained.

Who is better the marines the rangers or the navy seals?
Marines are regular forces but have their own specialist special operations branches such as force recon. Rangers are elite light infantry who are trained to support tier one sf on operations. Seals are a special operations force who are as good or better than the rangers on land but are also trained in military diving and free fall parachuting. These skills set them apart, they also have the most difficult training of the 3 units. So the SEALs are 'the best'.

Is the Indian navy special forces better trained than us navy seals?
I assume you're referring to the Indian Navy MARCOS group (previously MCF). MARCOS are certainly well trained and dedicated, but they were founded in 1984, whereas SEALs were derrived from Navy UDT (Underwater Demolition Teams) dating back to WW-II. Also, SEALS trained under a huge budget from the mid-1980's on, and it's hard to imagine MARCOS had a training budget or operational budget anywhere near that size. With no disrespect intended to MARCOS, I'd have to say no -- SEALs are better trained.
