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

Secure the border and fence of a garden, first. Flower will bloom as well. Otherwise it will get spoil each and every flower inside the garden. If we does not protect and care about the fence of a garden. And to improve the plantation. Gardener should be honest and trustworthy.

China's defense budget this year is 132 million and ours is just 36 million so we can compare easily that we should reduce defense budget or not, we should not forget Chinese incursions in Indian territory last year, and also china is supporter of Pakistan too so now decrease in defense budget means threat on our national security so condemn this discussion that we should reduce our budget.

Reducing expenditure on defence won't do any good in building India as the superpower. I believe defence is the best attack and weakening it will harm us. Plus, India has enough money to work on the social front, just it is not utilized properly.

Unnecessary wastage of resources and imports should be cut down to raise money. Proper balance is required. Rich is getting more richer and poor is sliding down and down. Social expenditure is the need of the hour but not at the expense of defence. There are many other areas which can be cut down to raise money for the poor. We can tax more the rich guys.

It is difficult for our country to curb down the expenses as we are surrounded by not so reliable, credible neighbours and if the country doesn't exist there won't be any society that we are we talking about. We need to rather implement the current policies effectively and make sure that the objective of the policies are fulfilled.

Its not easy to low down the expenditure on defense or to increase it for the social cause. Being a developing nation, India is on the verge of developing its relations with the developed countries for the betterment in the field of defense and also its people. Making friends all the time doesn't mean that there won't be any foes. We know that if we are making some good relations with someone it ll surely affecting some others interests as well. We still have some countries that are always ready for attacking us anytime.

So if we lower down our defense power we'll be surely defenseless one day. But it doesn't mean that we can ignore the settlement and the needs of our societies. So there is no need to decrease the expenditure or vice versa, we just need good techniques and strategic minds for the it.

In my opinion, there is no need to decrease defence expenditure because India is a renowned country and decreasing our defence expenditure will left a negative impression on other countries and our enemies will get more chances to attack.

I think India does not lack of money instead that money is not properly utilized. Politicians themselves use that money which should be utilized for the welfare of people i-e for social expenditure. So by eliminating corruption we will get a perfect balanced nation to live so we should focus on eliminating corruption instead of compromising by decreasing defence expenditure or something else.

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.

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.

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.

Reducing the defense expenditure and increasing the social expenditure is not the wise idea. It is just like forcing ourselves stand at the verge of threat. Budget raised for social expenditure is good enough if it is used for the people in the right way. Though there is a need to improve our social economic status I think it is done initially by changing ourselves that is not going behind the imported goods instead if we buy Indian goods that really helps and there is a need to improve research & development in defense to stand among other super power countries.
