Prefer indigenous made war material over imported by other country by this step we are not reducing defense budget but bringing self dependency. We are giving millions of dollars for buying AIR CRAFTS, MISSILES if we make them in INDIA it help us to develop our technology skills and reduce our defense budget, bring employment in our nation.

I think what's the need of increasing the lifestyle if at some point the invaders take control of our country. All the facilities and laws will be suiting well for us, only and only if we are secured by the army. So social expenditure is no where be taken under control or conducted at the worth of comprising to defense budget.

It is not that we have improve the social status and welfare of the people by decreasing the defence budget. If corruption is removed and the government ofFicials don't have an itching palm then surely the people of India will lead a healthy social life. The route cause OF SOCIAL ISSUES like poverty, malnutrition and unemployment are overpopulation and corruption that can be dealt differently and not by decreasing india's defence budget. First we need nation to live, which has to be safe guarded from our enemies, only then we need to think of the people. There is no point to invest money in a place where all people are dead or captured.

We should keep in mind that one can choose his friends or enemies but not neighbors and the reality is we don't have good relationship with our neighbours so we have to be prepared for worst conditions. Also I think reducing defence budget will not solve internal matters such as poverty and all that up to that extent buddies expecting but it will only create insecurity to the countryman.

Hello gentleman's.

We the peoples of India are surrounded by hostile neighbors like Pakistan and china, well we all know that spending a lot of money towards defense really hampered the economy, in India there is a unique case we are the rising economy of the world on the other hand our sociology, economic problems are also exists, but decreasing the defense budget means to causing harm to our economy, countries like china has increasing its defense budget year by year and the war of conflict can took place any time.

On the other hand increasing social expenditure provides us:

1. Good human resource.

2. Provides greater economy stability.

3. Reduces backwardness.

So we need to think upon the alternatives to reduce our import rates of arms and ammunition and must tried to make weapons in home therefore by strengthening our foreign policy to eradicate our sociology, economic problem.

In my opinion nothing should be increased or decreased. There should be a balanced form of expenditure in the two fields. We need social expenditure to increase strength of the bond with other countries, our friends, yet, we should not be weak in defense. If someone tries to back stab or threaten us, we should be equally prepared because no one can be trusted especially when our relations with neighboring countries are at sixes and sevens.

"The balanced form of expenditure is the need of the hour" in order to maintain development and safety.

In my opinion,

Both social, as well as defense expenditure, are need of every country. By all historical experience, we know we don't have a good relationship with our neighbouring country like China, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.

India is developing country we are not in the state of tolerance associated with any criminal activity like Mumbai attack, Pathan coat attack, issue related with Jammu and Kashmir etc. Less expense in defense means like supporting them in spreading of havoc here.

In the present situation, many soldiers are given the life to India, so you give to respect and some defense. Some places girls can't contain safety at the day time. Many javans live his families save to India. Present India budget some good because the gov can take interest about the black money and it can be clear. So it is one of the reasons for developing of India.

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.

I think friends our expenditure in defence sector should not cut because to make social things there should be peace and peace can only be kept when there is minimum deterioration between us and our neighboring countries.

Peace can only be kept when prepare for war against outsider attack. We have in neighbor terror forced Pakistan in west and communist china with its notion of expansion in east. So what means to ore on social issued when we have security threat.
