we are feeding millitary at the cost of our development.....appriciate this fact.
Well,
Corruption is one factor, it's theft.
A bigger factor is simple lack of competency.
I am witness to billions being lost just because the relevant officers
are not competent.
Third is lack of professionalism and ethics. I have seen more slackers than hard workers.
Corruption is a consequence of the above factors.
IF you can fix the above mentioned problems, then you can pretty
much curb corruption as well.
As for the rest of your post, Imagine that an country is very rich,
so then what ? what does it do ?
It must guard it's existence and ensure that it remains rich.
For that you need power and hence Defense forces.
so NEVER ever try and propose that you are sacrificing development
at the cost of existence.
