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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

As 40% of india's population are BPL, most of the people are expecting every sought of help from the Govt and is the need of the hour Today. But, It is not correct to reduce our defence expenditure for the sake of implementing welfare programmes. Even with our present defense setup, we have seen 26/11 Mumbai Terrorist attacks, Bomb Blastings in several places of India etc.

What if we reduce our present existing defense setup? then more terrorist groups will try to exploit India to disturb our normal living and to create a war like environment in India.

Instead, we can make more corporate organisations, Top Industrialists etc, to make their own contribution for the welfare of the poor people in India.
