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.

In my opinion,
Defense budget should be increased to decrease the possibilities of terror and to secure our borders. As everyone knows that we have tense border conditions with Pakistan and china, also china is a superpower and Pakistan had china's support.
Currently we see that is threatens world, Assam mass murders, Paris attack, Pakistan and Nigeria's mass murders by terrorists. As a result India should be prepared for any attack and war.
On the other hand for social developement good management of money and transparency in governance are good solution. Also corporate houses and groups should come forward to fight against poverty. Also we can link both sectors by educating poor peoples and then taking their services in defense sectors.

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.

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.

There should be proper balance in both expenditure. If we have to save our country from enemies then our defence should be strong. But to fight from social strategy we should first fight with corruption and if we utilize social expenditure in proper and systematic planned manner then we can strengthen up our social needs also.

I think that defense spending should not be decreased. India is a developing country, so there is always a developing technology going on with better use and results. So, spending in strengthening our defense sector makes sense to be in level par with other countries. We all want to avoid war but it is unpredictable when the war will broke out. So, at then we should not regret that we do not have the technology to counter attack. We should always be ready to face the situation.

In my opinion, it is not necessary to decreasing in defense expenditure. Because our country's relationship with the neighbor country is not good. And the other developed country also doesn't want to go down. So our country is the target of so many developed country.
It doesn't mean that we should not increase the social expenditure. We can increase our social expenditure by other way. Like return the black money which is in swiss bank and many more ways to helping in increasing social expenditure.

In my opinion both are important but right now our need or rather our dependence is on defense so we need to concentrate on our defense then we have to come to our social expenditure which is also important but the main thing is that first we have to save our country from attacks of our neighbouring countries whether direct or indirect. Then we can increase our social expenditure.

In my view the defense expenditure should not be reduced as protecting several lives of our country takes the highest priority than social status. So money for social expenditure should be dragged out from the houses of corrupted politicians and used for the poor people. It is our money which is illegally used by the politicians for their luxuries.
One proper solution for this problem is using the black money and improving country's status and provide basic amenities for every Indian.
