Future power India: Need to cut its Arm imports

We Indian have replaced China from the post of largest arm importer in the world. Our arm imports has roused up to 111% in last five year congress term. Growth in arms import was almost doubled to our growth in GDP. We have almost doubled up our imports for arms. Their are two opinions on the same

1st opinion: Our inherent capabilities are staggered and our Government imports arms from foreign nation to safeguard our boundaries. If such remains the scenario then sooner our government will replace our Army mens from foreign soldiers. Shame on our Government who instead of developing indigenous solutions for our defence need, purchasing arms & ammunition from foreign manufacturers. Such deals are made when our growth rate is decreasing, unemployment increasing, lack of liquidity leading to high exchange rates, ..etc. It is us who has to think whether to invest in foreign's arm or to nurture our land with import's value by electing a Govt. who has guts to make our bright future.

2nd opinion: High imports of new tech arms & ammunition leading us to a safer place to live and work. High stability of newly equipped army resulting better peace keeping situations attracting foreign investment and making us prosperous and fastest growing economies in the world.

As per me the first opinion is rather more correct than the second one. Though we are the largest importer of arms till 2013, and our imports are almost thrice to the imports of our nearest competitor i.e China. May the new Government take corrective actions by understanding the needs of the Future power "India"
