India spends 18.6% of its annual budget on military while 3.4% on health care

[Umair Nawaz]

Protecting the country is probably the only responsibility that any form of government has. Providing healthcare, food, education etc. as the responsibilities of the government is debatable. These types of things should be the primary responsibility of the parents.

and same goes 4 Pakistan too?!

What is your point?

 

[Mike_Brando]

Discussed and refuted during the release of India's budget earleir this year. As per new rules the induvidual states control healthcare spending and the figure quoted is to do with central allocation for healthcare not all India spends on healthcare. Also, the figure for "defence" at >18% includes spending on law enforcement agences like the CRPF, BSF, CISF etc which is not defenc spending.

ALl in all a highly misleading and entirely flawed analysis.

Mate,why on earth are you trying to engage him in a meaningful conversation considering the fact that he is a madrassah educated chap with an automatic hatred for India and her citizens.Look at his comment on the IAF pilots in the below mentioned thread.

It is as saying "when your house is on fire instead of arranging for water or sand one is complaining that the smoke will spoil your health".
You, your property, your family, should be safe only then one can think about health, though health is also important, safety cannot be ignored, look at the plight of afghans, Iraqis, Syrians, can they even complain about their health?

 

[Su-11]

Dang!!...3.9 is lesser than 1.8 ..?

Pakistan needs to upgrade it's education.

See the infographic LUNDI!! From where are you getting your figures LUNDI!?

And as for the healthcare per new rules, this is a 2014 budget figure.
And the states spending has already been addressed before in another reply.
Those are union govt forces without whom this country will fall into chaos. And there are state forces as well. Just goes to show the amount of money required to just to maintain forces in this country.

Another example of brilliance displayed here. So in india, families invest in firefighting systems more than their healthcare. Only in India!

What's "LUNDI"? something similar to "PAKSHITSTAN" or "PHUCKISTANI" that normally one sees in YouTube comments?. Dont act like a kid.

One normally should check a link before posting..you didn't and got busted.

I am sure that adding up state police or paramilitary budget to defense budget isn't an argument..that's totally different departments that come under home ministry.

In India, military spending is 18.6 percent of its total budget spending.
In India, health care spending is 3.4 percent of its total budget spending.

Talk about screwed up priorities.

Rich corrupt leaders hide this fact by rounding the military spending by the GDP, but GDP doesn't pay for the military, its the annual budget which does. By Annual budget, a poor country like India is spending lavishly on its military, while its citizens die everyday due to poor healthcare services.

COMBINED BUDGETARY TRANSACTIONS OF THE CENTRE AND THE STATES

Defence services 203672 crore ( 6.5% )
Medical & public health and water supply & sanitation 130100 crore ( 4.12 % )
Education, art & culture 378855 crore (12 %)

TOTAL EXPENDITURE 3152934 crore

So....

This is a country which buys gold plated fighter jets, and embarks on finding the compounds for basic necessities for life on other planets but can't provide the basic necessities for life for its people in its own land.

You're one pathetic troll

[Post Colonnial]

do they count the money spent on native medicine also in the 3.6% or only that from the organized sector?

Yes, I'm sure parents should build hospitals and schools.

Government should be responsible for the regulatory bodies and enforcement of the regulations

Private enterprises should build and run Schools and Hospitals

Parents should be responsible for providing resources to avail the such services

How Countries Spend Their Money

As sad and deplorable as this is, our government does have a valid excuse for this. Pakistan sponsored terrorism is active in many corners of the country, and there is always a challenge (although not a threat) that we may have to deal with China some day.

Interesting.

China's Government budget is around $2.5 trillion per year, and we spend only 5% of the Government budget on defence.

Nearly the lowest in the world. That translates to around 1.4% of GDP.

China massively under-states its military budget. Like on almost all statistics Chinese, the defense budget is not what it seems:

What if private enterprises do not run enough schools and hospitals, as is the case in the subcontinent, and indeed the World overall?

Idealism is brilliant in theory, fails in practicality. There will never be self sufficiency in the private sector alone

Priviate sector would come in

1) if they do not have to compete with government which provides services at free of cost

2) If people are willing to pay for the services
