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

In my opinion, defense budget in India is already much lower than that of other rivals in the battleground. Defense is one of the serious field to take care of. US alone has much higher defense budget than other countries collectively have. To protect our natural resources, our people and our status we need a strong defense budget.

GOVT. If grants 100 rs for welfare of common people then only 1 rupee is utilized the way it was granted for rest 99 rs are utilized by our respectful politicians themselves for their own welfare.

So defense budget must be kept constant their is no problem in increasing social cost but at the expenditure of defense budget increasing social budget is never a fair deal.

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.

We need to spend more on defense not considering as a luxury as it is for the security of people in India. Our borders are not safe from neighbouring countries. The recent attack on Pathankot is a perfect fact for it. Our security forces are good, but not that good as in the USA and China so we need to spend a lot in the defense sector.

India spends 1/3 of his GDP on defense per year. Defense forces comprise of all three forces Army Nevy & Air force. At this stage we have many enemy like china pak etc. If our defense power is not up to date, we have engaging many war like conditions. Social development also affected.

Hai friends, in my point of view first India need to develop the defence in territorial areas, especially a country like India must definitely spent its 60% to 70% of its expenditure on defence, because to the west we have pakistan, the country which desires to have more violence than peace.

To the west we have bangladesh which is east pakistan, to the top of our country the largest of all countries china is there, all these countries are opposite to India that too they all are supportive to each other.

Not only these countries Pakistan gets US military aid and they aren't the bestest of friends. So, this shouldn't be a real surprise. So in my opinion, India first need to develop the defence areas than spending on social expenditure.

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.

I heel investing in social sector is more important these days because defense expenditure is already very high instead of giving a path to weapon world India should try to improve its relation with other countries. Social sector needs more so that people of our country don't lag behind.

I think we have to establish friendship with Myanmar and have to use their soil the way China is using Pakistan. Then we need help of US to modernize our defence sector and sign treaties to seek their help if battle with China or Pakistan starts, and the same should be with Japan. Now we need more numbers of advance submarines and we also need to build many air bases next to China and Pakistan border and connect those areas with roads and rail route. We should add an extra part in defense recruitment exams as decision taking ability as we need soldiers who are not only strong but also smart and intelligent.

And for all these we need bigger part of the GDP or China and Pakistan together will convert us to homeless refugees. Feeding your baby is your responsibility not of the govt they can't waste money by giving rice at rupees 2. India's poverty and too much population is a growing problem as they eat up the majority of our GDP adding very little to it per head. Whatever we have two options feed these poor and surrender to China or increase funding to the defense sector to at least 4.5% of GDP and 6-7% if possible and fight for existence because currently our future not so safe.

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.

In my opinion the expenditure on defense should not be reduced because defense sector plays major role in development of the country. As we know that half of the region of our country is surrounded by water and half from land so India have to spend too much money on defense.

And if we reduce the expenditure on defense then the research on defense will not go in progress as it should be. And under the threat of neighbor country they all have nuclear power. And to tackle this threat India have to spend more expenditure on defense. And under the well programmed scheme and by reduce corruption we can tackle all social problem.

Thank you.
