In my opinion, India should never be compromised with whatever it may be like social expenditure etc.
As we know, around the world so many attacks were happened. Recently in Pakistan 147 students died in Taliban attack. During 26/11 attacks Mumbai policemen were fighting with latish and pre-independence rifles against with terrorist laced with AK47's consequently several policeman had to sacrifice their lives.
In our borders millions of soldiers and personal guarding protecting us. We don't won't them to lose their lives just because we had poor defense equipment's and obsolete technology.
Yes, Social development is very important. In India we can see so many sachems for the people like PDS (Public food Distribution System) , fertilizers. For these schemes India spending corers of money.
Now a days every country would prefer to be advance in defense technology like US, China, Japan etc. Because they would prefer safety first.
For example if we spend a lot of money on social expenditure rather than defense expenditure. What should we do with schemes without safety? At the end, I am going to conclude is India should spend money on defense part.

Its important to make a balance between defense expenditure as well as social. If we are leading from the both side them only be our nation will be developing.

India needs balance between defense expenditure and social welfare. Because it does not have very good relations with its neighbors like China and Pakistan which are military strong countries so it must be cautious about its defense. Through developing indigenous technology based arms and ammunition, selling of old military equipment to other countries and reduction in rampant corruption, we can reduce our defense expenditure and this saving amount can be used in developmental activities which will ultimately strengthen our defense system.

According to my point of view, first comes security of the country then comes other social issues which country have to remove like illiteracy, corruption etc b/c we live in a country which has not good relationship with its neighbors like China and Pakistan. And it is well known that chain is encircling our country by making port in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and we also know the Pakistan good relationship with china and it is increasing its military power with the help of china.
So in these circumstances being weak in our military power means encouraging these country to attack on us. So there is only solution to keep these country quiet is increasing our defense power and that require more investment in this sector.

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.

Hello friends,
In my point of view we should not try to reduce the defense expenditure. Because security is most important of any nation, at the current time each country is want to defeat to other country. In that situation we are not take a risk, but its also true that expenditure on social field is most important but I think both are the two face of coin both are most important for our nation,

Well lets just say we are increasing defense budget we are getting new weapons developing new weapons but how do we know those weapons we are bringing are agile and likely forward changing like even we brought a fighter jet it has a limited flight capacity in 10000 hrs and gas turbine inside this jet need to be replaced which is whole lot another cost.
So I propose developing a sound is great need for India. If any country comes its way against India we can develop weapons then yeah it may take time but we strong manufacturing facility. But sorry why anyone would like to attack us?We would burn their house to ground how we got largest population for fight.
What losing our economy is the thing there is a clear line of distinction between rich and poor it could severely create riots and political in-stabilization. The poor people they are not even educated as it seem to be.
So education must be more preferable than defense. Because education could create better solutions like Kerala's all round development. Do we even have power 24/7 in our villages?

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.

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.

As we are talking about the need of the hour, our today's world there will be no such world war or nuclear war. We are surrounded by the nations like china who has a good economic situation than us but on the other hand Pakistan which is a failed nation. Like before Pakistan will try to engage India in a proxy war to destabilize India's growing economy.
If we are not going to focus in the defense issue, then china will show its superiority to India which is not a good thing at all. Secondly India's defense budget is not so high that we need to cut it rather we should increase it if it is the demand of the hour. Our defense budget is only the two point something percent of our budget and it is comparatively very low than china which is 9%.
