Why India spends so much on defense?

One of the questions that I have heard from many Indians is that why does our government spend so much on defense when we are facing many other critical issues. News channels highlight 'India spends 41.3 billion dollars every year on arms.', 'India's defense budget is ten times the education budget.' So, this post seeks to answer these questions.

Why is defense such a critical issue for India ?

How do you feel when you are playing an online multiplayer game like clash of clans and you invest a lot of time trying to develop your side and then suddenly someone invades and steals your resources?

Pakistan is a terrorist state where even a terrorist who is the mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai attack receives z+ security and is the next probable PM of the state. Pakistan has a heavily burdened economy because of the terror elements that it has supported for so long. The Pakistan economy even after receiving heavy grants from China and US is very dimunitive infront of the fastest growing economy of India.

So, if India doesn't remain militarily defensive against this small goblin then it will try its best to steal the resources because it is unable to generate it.

Now, why is it defensive and not offensive? Even though this goblin is small, it has received nuclear weapons. In case of war, this poor goblin will be destroyed but even India will lose its position as the fastest growing economy.

India's aspirations to become a key player in world politics dictates the imperatives of self-reliant defense capabilities. It is easy to say that we can spend the money on education and reducing poverty but the minute our security forces weaken we will once again start facing problems of terrorists and local naxals. We just need to reduce corruption and divert the money to the right direction so that we can use the hard earned taxpayer's money in the best possible way.

Why is India reactive and not proactive against Pakistan?

One of those questions that has been posed to every elected Hindustani government is 'why do we have no first attack policy', 'why do we wait for Porkis to attack?' This post will answer such questions.

Pakistan is like a mischievous brat which keeps on troubling its sensible big brother India. Let's see how Pakistan developed after independence:

For a long time of Pakistan's post independence period, Pakistan has been ruled by its military. Democratically elected governments have struggled to complete their terms, being alternately dismissed by presidents or removed from power by army chiefs.

Indeed, only one parliament has ever completed its five-year term - and it was headed by General Pervez Musharraf, a military dictator, as both president and army chief.

So, Pakistani intellects lack power and are easily suppressed by its military when they try to raise any sensible opinions. Pakistani army tries to get popular public support to stay in power by condemning India and conducting frequent attacks on India. Let me give you an example, Nawaz Sharif was losing from India on diplomatic grounds, so military started condemning him to get back in power. So, even he has to continue with his frequent attacks on India. This is the reason for the frequent attacks from the Pakistani side.

Now let's talk about India. India is the one of the fastest growing economy with a good world standing. It has got enough sensible intellectuals who understand that war is never a good option because even the victor has to lose it's earlier powerful standing. So, India is reactive and not pro-active.

India knows that if India will become pro-active then the weak Pakistani government will be forced to declare a full scale war and a war has no victors.Even though Pakistan may vanish from the world map, India will also get weakened which could be exploited by other world powers.
