I think India should first feed, clothe, shelter half its population before spending on defence budget or glamorous airports.

This dialogue sounds sweet but impossible to follow particularly when both of its big neighbours seem to think the opposite.

My post did not intend any hostility towards China or Pakistan. It is an axiomatic fact that none of the three countries have shown eagerness to minimize their defence budget to concentrate more on human development. India had done it once and paid the price heavily.

Indian Government work tirelessly to evacuate all people from poverty in minimum time but I here that your defence budget roars 17% and even your country gonna bankrupt

Defence budget is less than 3 % of GDP and most of the glamorous airports you see are built by Public Private Partnership. Govt only spends around 10% of the cost and the rest comes from the pocket of developer(L&T, DLF etc). We have many people under the poverty line but at the same time we also have good number of people who use Air travel.

We are doing fine... we are lifting millions our of poverty each year. And even with all those poor people, we ve got a medium level HDI, which is a great leap forward from what we had 10 years ago.
