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.

We should keep in mind that one can choose his friends or enemies but not neighbors and the reality is we don't have good relationship with our neighbours so we have to be prepared for worst conditions. Also I think reducing defence budget will not solve internal matters such as poverty and all that up to that extent buddies expecting but it will only create insecurity to the countryman.

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.

In the present situation, many soldiers are given the life to India, so you give to respect and some defense. Some places girls can't contain safety at the day time. Many javans live his families save to India. Present India budget some good because the gov can take interest about the black money and it can be clear. So it is one of the reasons for developing of India.

Defence is must we are not going to attack on any country. But if any other country is going to attack on us then we should protect our self first. Dr. A.P.J. Kalam had same thoughts. He said that power respect power that has same meaning. China and Pakistan have no guaranty. America consoles India and Pakistan issue. And at the same time provides weapons to Pakistan.

Defence expenses should not be deducted because terrorist and naxalite attacks are increasing and areas like indo-china and indo-pak are getting disputed day by day.
And now we move to social issues, here expenditures are enough but corruption is immensely blocking the growth rates.
So both these expenditures should not be connected with each other.

What necessary is to maintain proper balance between both, because on one side of maintain security so that a country is safe which is very important aspect, another thing is you have to look around to our neighboring countries, that is mindset they have. Because a country develop only when there good security, then only investors invest there.

We all know god has given us such friendly neighbors. Our little notorious brother Pakistan. Respected Sri Lanka our friendly competitor China. Not to forget our baby boy Bangladesh.
All sides we are surrounded by such "peace-creating" countries that we need a lot to spend on our defence budget. Think again what will happen if we decrease it!

Prefer indigenous made war material over imported by other country by this step we are not reducing defense budget but bringing self dependency. We are giving millions of dollars for buying AIR CRAFTS, MISSILES if we make them in INDIA it help us to develop our technology skills and reduce our defense budget, bring employment in our nation.

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.
