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.

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.

Many of our friends confirmed it that both of them are useful and they should be balanced. With my point of view, I will agree with that. Because, if a person was under the peak of a gun and was asked that would you like to die or will you be like this without basic needs properly for several days, a person can't decide what to select. Directly by the gun, he may die or indirectly hunger makes him die. So maintaining both of them equally is important.

Hi friends I would like to tell Indian should concentrate on both the defence as well as in social budget also, to achieve this by make in India project. Indigenously making missiles and aircraft's saves a lot of money being spent for imports which also gives job for the fellow countrymen. Amending stringent laws against corruption which decides the country's development. Security of the country is foremost priority than anything else.

As India spend a major chunk of its GDP on defence budget so indirectly we are giving signals others countries that we are gearing ourselves for war. Even all our near countries with whom we have more chance of war all have nuclear power including us so even in worst case ultimate sufferers will be both so its to be live peacefully. Rather than focus on defence we focus on health, education, infrastructure development and employment.

Today the world is having a tough time against terrorism. The Peshawar attacks reveal the grisly and inhuman attitude of the terrorists. At this juncture it is mandatory to have a strong defense against any mishap that may likely occur. If people can't sleep peacefully, what is the use of living in a modernized society. We can live without malls and hotels but not at the cost of mental peace and well being.

See, there are two type of security, first one is internal security from terrorism and external security along the borders. As India is surrounded by countries whose economy and nuclear power is increasing day by day our country need to think about its defence level which is connected with the expenses being made. Unless, indians are not secured its of no use of taking out measures in social field.

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,

Deal with a country is kind of dealing with a human body. If we are sick and suffering from a disease we need to cure the disease first instead of nutrition the body. Stopping the destruction is much more important than building up. In the same way. Defending the nation from bugs is much more important. Social welfare comes next. So I support to concentrate on defense system social afterwards.
