Decreasing defense expenditure and increasing social expenditure is the need of the hour

Why is it necessary that reducing the money spent on defence is going to be detrimental to security? Why can't we rely on diplomatic ties with other countries? I feel that India being surrounded by so many POWERFUL countries should be an advantage! If all these countries had good ties, it would save a whole lot of money, ours AND theirs.

First, we have to stop thinking of ourselves as citizens of a specific country, we are citizens of the world! Just think, if we had good ties with all countries, in such a way that war would only ever be considered as the very last option, when diplomacy fails, which I believe, can never happen if we truly want diplomacy. I'm not criticizing the people of any ONE country, we ALL have to change our mentalities.

If even half the money spent by each country was used for social development, we could develop at a very fast pace.

I do not mean to offend anyone with this, this is just my point of view.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

As we all know that India is one of the most powerful country in the world and we are expecting tremendous growth in all the sectors in next ten-fifteen years. Now the new government is focusing on to reduce the cost of defense by manufacturing weapons and latest technologies equipment in India itself to avoid high import cost.

Defense is the back bone of any country and for that there should be any ignorance. Innovation leads to improve the things without extra burden on the budget and if there is requirement of extra funds for the country's defense that should be taken into consideration.

In my opinion people need food and money to live in this world and starting a new projects every sector needs man power, why should not our government invest money in establishing our own defense factories which would make better weapons full of technologies and by doing that we can remove wide range of poverty from India and the Indian money will remain in India only.

So, I suggest that Indian government should decrease the social expenditure and increase defense expenditure because indirectly the unemployed people of India are benefited and also we can sleep soundly as our defense will become stronger than before and protect us from local and foreign terror threats.
