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

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.

Hi friends.

With a lot of respect to our neighbouring countries like. China, Bangladesh. We the Indians needed to determine that we should dence our country by our own way, nothing in this world caught us, if something which is with a proper and with a positive mind.

Indeed the world is beyond our imagination lets, take an oath to step forward for our defence, so the social expenditure can be controlled by our nation itself as like no black money should be the government needed to take a step forward, as I said previously we can help in defencing by our own way, same way here the government needed to help the people to get back their social expenditure it is just like tit to that.

Thank you.

Decreasing defense expenditure means that we are providing fewer funds to our armed forces who are actually protecting our borders. This leaves less room for the new technology in the defense field. India is a country which has dangerous neighbors like Pakistan. If we reduce the defense expenditure than we will not be able to cope up with the new technology of our enemy. Yes, I agree that the spending on social needs is also important but that doesn't mean that we neglect our safety. If the country is safe then only the investors from will invest in our country, which will only lead to the prosperity of the country and thus will have more funds to invest in social, defense of other areas.

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.

Hello friends,

I appreciate with all of you, you all are correct at your point, but I will support those people who are supporting for DEFENSE BUDGET, 'social development is also important' and 'defense development is very important'. First security is important because if we are safe then only we can use these social welfare activities.

As we all know that our relations with our neighboring are not good 'specially from China and Pakistan' I request you all guys on one hand you keep security and on another hand you keep social welfare and now think which one important now, if condition is your life is in danger. I promise all of you will choose your life means security.

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.

I feel defense expenditure should not be lowered. A lot of of money being spend on this area but do we ever think that how defense personnel work to save guard our country holding positions throughout the year. It is a fact that till today we are lagging far behind in quality defense mechanisms. It becomes a need to empower our soldiers with all modern equipments to save country and themselves as well. These are the country's finest man and they deserve a huge expenditure.

And for social expenditure we have other mediums irrespective of government funds, like private party contributing to it. And it becomes responsibility of every human beings to make best use of it.

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 friends,

I feel addressing both defence and social front of the nations is the need of the hour. While defence is absolutely essential part for India to maintain its stronghold over the offensive nations and avert any future threat, it is also important to properly allocate the funds toward social development causes in order to improve the living status of people.

NOW THERE ARISES A QUESTION HOW A BALANCE CAN BE ACHIEVED ?

The answer to this is in house development of weapons. For this India needs to spend more on research activities and encourage the institutions like IITS, DRDO, etc to come forward for the development as it will help to save billions.

No. Both defense expenditure and social expenditure are equally important right at this moment. Defense expenditure because of the various attacks that India has already faced from ISIS and also because of the terms that India has with Pakistan and China. At any point of time, India might need amunitions, weapons and equipments for which it has to be prepared. Social expenditure is for the betterment of the society that will improve living standard of people and this will ultimately increase country's GDP. But since government cannot allocate funds equally between both, so it has to lessen its expenditure on one of the sector and this can be defense sector.
