Defence expenses should not be deducted because terrorist and naxalite attacks are increasing and areas like indo-china and indo-pak are getting disputed day by day.
And now we move to social issues, here expenditures are enough but corruption is immensely blocking the growth rates.
So both these expenditures should not be connected with each other. |

| Instead of spending on defence government must spend on welfare of society. I do not know why government spent thousands of crores on Kasab what have they got out of it probably nothing that amount if would have spent on poor social welfare index must have risen. So government must start spending on social welfare instead of spending public money on defence and for whom they are saving for defence purpose when the citizens of India are not safe what else our enemy will harm us. |

Today we are living in a world where we have to fight an economic war. The times of world war and cold war are gone. Now we have to develop our economic status. There is no need of spending very much amount of money on defense. Instead of that if we will pay attention on our economical condition then it will be better.
Of course we also have to save our country from neighbors like Pakistan and china. But now we need to cut the defense budget.
A lots of people in our country are below the poverty line and are living in horrifying condition. If instead of using money on defense we use the money in developing the condition of our people then it can give good results. |

Hello guys, according to my point of view there should be balance and proper management in the expenditure between the defense and social. As Indian Government should provide to our defense all necessary things that they want fulfill their demands to make satisfied them from our side rather than the Indian Government invests lots of money on terrorists.
On other side efforts should be done for social empowerment in order to uplift the status of every mankind. For social empowerment it is also social duty of person that he/she would be aware from what is going on currently and come ahead to remove disorders which are spread everywhere in India. |

| See, there are two type of security, first one is internal security from terrorism and external security along the borders. As India is surrounded by countries whose economy and nuclear power is increasing day by day our country need to think about its defence level which is connected with the expenses being made. Unless, indians are not secured its of no use of taking out measures in social field. |

| In my point of view I think that defense plays a vital role in the development of a nation. And India is a large country so I think that defense budget should be as maximum as possible. There two sides of a nation social (i.e. We) and defense (i.e. The warriors who fight at the borders to make us relax). If we will loose in defense then it results in danger of public and if we loose in social then it results in unemployment & poverty. So the budget should be in favor of both defense & social welfare. |

Defense and social budget are two different sides of a same coin i.e. if defense system is week social life will be affected by neighbors attack and if social system is week poverty and unemployment will make Indian people to work for terrorist organization and thus they will harm our defense system.
As India is nieghbored by seven countries we can not think of reducing defense budget as it will cause loss of our areas, life and property. Instead of this Political leaders can think of reducing their own budget for corruption and criminalism, black money stashed in Swizz banks should also be bring back to India as it will provide food and safety to us for 20 years without taxation. |

| In my opinion the defence budget should not be reduced to the social expenditure. I agree that our country is facing so many social problems like poverty, population, corruption etc. But we cannot leave the most bigger problem that entire world is facing of. That is terrorism. And our country is most affected in j&k region. We are the only country that is surrounded by seven other countries. Some enemy country like pak, china, bangladesh etc. We are always in a state of war. So what will we do if the war occurs. It will cause loss to the huge life and property. So we have to make a fear in the mind of our neighbouring countries that we have the strong defence so that they cannot think of war. |

| India spends 1/3 of his GDP on defense per year. Defense forces comprise of all three forces Army Nevy & Air force. At this stage we have many enemy like china pak etc. If our defense power is not up to date, we have engaging many war like conditions. Social development also affected. |

Well first of all,
A big thanks to those who gave their inputs about this topic. As it helped me to consolidate my views for this topic.
Well I don't think decreasing defense and increasing social expenditure is need of the hour. It is quite known to all that in todays time with the growing Business exchanges and military tie ups of our neighbouring countries, certainly smokes out a signal of a big threat for India, in such a situation showing your defence power to the maximum extent can certainly bring down the haughtiness of neighbouring countries and weakens the enemies future intrusion plans upto an extent.
Whereas increasing social expendtiure is not the assurity for bringing success to the country but by managing our defence mechanism can absolutely help India to keep all those threats at bay which might claim their life at any instant. |

| Ya, its true that we surrounded by china and Pakistan. These neighbours are not good one. But we also think about our poverty. In west Bengal still now above 30% people below poverty level. In India, literacy rate is still 70%. We should improve these condition. |

Ya, its right that one should reduce defence expenditure as its budget is very big. Had the money been used for social purpose it would have been better in the welfare of the society. But, india is surrounded by pakistan and china and these neighbours are not good one. In order to develop our society, its essential to save our country first.
In my view talks should go on and a starategic solution must come out of it. Once the peace establishes in the subcontinent area then obviously, we can decide to reduce the defence budget. At this point of time, its not possible at all. |
