Should the government increase or decrease military spending?

increase drastically

Drastically increase military spending and allocate most of it to navy. Also acquire modern weapons

Government should focus on spending better and quality of spends, rather than just a plain increase/decrease/no change.

Since india is a country that majors in its soft power I believe the military spending should only increase upto the point where we arent taken lightly on geopolitical military front

current percentage should be spend like not more then 2.5 % but over all focus should be increasing over economy so from 71 billion dollar defense budget increase to like 1 trillion dollar or something

Increase but focus on modernization

Only at times of emergencies

Should aim to produce ammunition domestically rather than spending on buying it from outside.

The government should increase the military spending but first it should ensure proper management of resources at hand with a well laid out plan otherwise its just a gateway to corruption

Neither, but improve allocation of resources.

Most of our amount govt. Spend on military spend as pension or salary With such a huge amount of money that goes like this we cannot invest or purchase better quality need a better investment plan for that.

Wasteful spending should be stopped our ordinance factories are shut ,and payment are not being cleared by the government to pay for expensive foreign equipment which may not meet our needs

Yes, with focus on RnD and developing the domestic arms market

keep the percentage the same but grow the gdp as if that happens the spending will grow organically

Increase,with more focus on indigenous research and development.

Increase, but more on R&D and developing our domestic arms market

Make peace with neighbours

Increase spending on Defense Tech by huge amount, decrease spending on buying equipment, drastically decrease the size of the military

Govt should invest in developing new indigenous technology.

Decease own investment and encourage private entrepreneurs to play

The government should improve our Economy so that more money is available for military

It depends according to the situation.

Drastically increase the military budget by redirecting funds after dismantling the welfare state.

Regulate according to situation

Judicious spending

Decrease and use the budget to help the citizens in providing food, health care and education

Only if it is necessary?

No comments.

Try to hold dialogue with neigbours and increase business activity with the border nations

Remain same as percentage of gdp as of now

Depends on the intension of our neighbouring countries and our own relationship with them. If we have hostile neighbours, we surely should increase our spending

Government should try to decrease there dependence on other countries for weapons.

Indian Military is reactionary and Anti-Proletariat
