Why is low income India spending more on defense than education?

[Nilgiri]

I guess the number of india is education real dollars vs GDP PPP.....
Fake news

@Nilgiri

Why must we care too much about govt spending on education? I care about total spending on education (govt and non govt). In fact I want as little govt spending on education as possible, govt is terrible at it in many if not most cases. That goes for the whole world.

Total comes to more than 4% of GDP I believe in India, can do a lot better thats for sure....but I would not want Indian govt spending at the % levels of the other countries for education, Indian govt is notoriously bad at public schooling. It should switch to complete voucher system to subsidise the supposed market failure directly and leave the capacity building and education development to private sector.

Not sure why you bringing up USD nominal and PPP again as though the % would change...both the numerator and denominator would get scaled equally between nominal USD, INR, PPP USD etc.

The difference between the 3% here and 4% I am quoting is govt spending vs total spending.

Could we in our life time see a RSSer stop mentioning PPP just to cure their ego?

educating some dumb heads is waste of time but govt can certainly save dumb heads *** by spending more money on defence which is guaranteed to be at least a success.

i dunno about others but u are definitely one of those "dumb heads". what a waste of ur parents' work.

i hope the model of education for India (as per you) is not the "Ryan International School" types who fleece parents of their money. actually all private schools do so in the name of syllabus str, school uniforms , they even force the parents to buy copies from the school itself.
on the contrary, govt schools are providing whatever less education as u say, but they are providing nonetheless. if such international or private schools are not ready to go into small towns , what can u expect about their behavior when it comes to villages.
Regards.
Long time no see.

You wouldnt even see this being even mentioned by Indian journalists who are so right wing and and racist its unbelievable.

Some home truths here, India hasn't been at War since 1999 so why this massive defence spending when you have the largest amount of poor people anywhere in the world.

This current Indian generation choose to buy guns for its army then provide education for its people. they choose to sling hate at anything pakistani online and support fake twitter Balochi accounts rather then stand up to their corrupt governments against poverty, toilet facilities rape etc.

Folks usually prefer what is easier to do!!!! China may be an exception!!! And, Pak has been trying that too!!! Who'd have crossed Himalays to make a trade route to join the Arabian Sea to China???? Or, play tango with the Super Powers 24/7????

Another India bashing thread with the same handful of Pakistani false flaggers jumping about .

I am talking along lines of genuine free market competition (subject to anti-trust violation and implementation of good common sense standards set by govt), not oligarch vested interest BS you are quoting here (which is really extension of who you know in the same current ridiculous govt education apparatus) which is the current reality in India largely.

I seriously approached setting up a private technical based school in India with few other interested quarters (and we know no one special in govt etc), there are so many barriers to doing so and such a headache that we just gave up (and we also saw horror stories of ppl that went ahead anyway in other instances, given who they have to pay off, who they didnt and then got harrased by the "didnt" later on with all kinds of permit requirements you name it...and those they did pay off play tug of war politics with them too).

So its clear that those that do somehow get through and set up private education in India are almost running some level of a scam, its not always their fault though, its simply how the govt has messed up how people can enter and run things privately, like goonda-raj has shown time and time again esp the more important political optics etc are (you can imagine it for Education being so crucial).

on the contrary, govt schools are providing whatever less education as u say, but they are providing nonetheless. if such international or private schools are not ready to go into small towns , what can u expect about their behavior when it comes to villages.

Again its because thats the way the govt has set up the system. It has gamed the system to benefit its own badly run monopoly...big time. There is no genuine free market place in first place, so the discussion of what is viable for actual private sector cannot even be seriously discussed. So they are left competing only in the higher echelons of the pie, and even there its corrupt and skewed (esp compared to most of our competitors and developed world), just the ROI is lot higher so there is some permeation compared to base level primary and secondary etc (where again entry is restricted, you have to scam to get in, so you naturally will scam your clients to some level too to make the ROI).

India is long way away from full fettered level playing field for private and public debate in education.

thanks for clearing it up very simply. and yes, i do agree whats going on is a thorough scam.
i would have welcome full fledged private education under govt scrutiny, but sadly oligarchs are here to stay for a long time.
i wish i could give ur post a +ve rating.
