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.

It is easy to say about spending of money on education or to control poverty but if the security becomes weak so many security like problems will raise like terrorist attacks and kidnapping by naxalites. It has been rightly said progress will take place in a secure environment. Also to grab permanent seat in UN security council we must prove world class actors which demands a strong defense capable of protecting national interest any where across the globe let it be south china sea in the east or gulf of Aden in the west.

Reducing expenditure on defense will not cause any good. We are competing here with great powers like America, Russia, china etc. Which use advanced warfare technologies. What we need to do is first raise the standards of armor, military equipments and provide them best training.
As far as social expenditure is concerned optimum expenditure is required here, because Indian market is in crisis right now. The expenditure done socially should reach to each citizen, unless then I am not sure of ameliorating results.

I am not agree with increasing social expenditure at the cost of defense expenditure because of the situation of the our country as we are bothered with the neighbors like china & Pakistan, social development is definitely needed but for the integrity and sovereignty of country we need a strong defense structure that's why high defense budget is needed but one thing is also important that dependency on other countries must be deduced and concentrate on indigenous arms society will automatically get benefited.

Hello friends.
According to me we have to increase expenditure in defense sector rather than social. Now a days India is facing many terrorism attacks and fear of country's like USA and China because they are more alert in defense sector and have active militant power.
So, India also have to increase their expenditure in defense sector, so that all soldiers standing on border to protect us have a better resource to defend ourselves and can teach USA and China that India is no more a looser in defense sector.

In my point of view I think that defense plays a vital role in the development of a nation. And India is a large country so I think that defense budget should be as maximum as possible. There two sides of a nation social (i.e. We) and defense (i.e. The warriors who fight at the borders to make us relax). If we will loose in defense then it results in danger of public and if we loose in social then it results in unemployment & poverty. So the budget should be in favor of both defense & social welfare.

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 social, as well as defense expenditure, are need of every country. By all historical experience, we know we don't have a good relationship with our neighbouring country like China, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc.
India is developing country we are not in the state of tolerance associated with any criminal activity like Mumbai attack, Pathan coat attack, issue related with Jammu and Kashmir etc. Less expense in defense means like supporting them in spreading of havoc here.

From my point of view, reducing defense budget for social expenditure. It will not be work. As strengthening the power of country's defense system is very important. On other side social problems are rising because of the corrupt mentality of our countries politician and not the least all peoples. Diverting focus from Defense will make country weaker, and it will affect our development. If our politician behave sincerely towards the growth, will definitely minimize the social problems.

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.
