u do not blindly spend on defence,we spend what is necessary. it has to do more with social relations. farmers generally do quite well,only when there is a drought do they feel the pinch. people with no education are more mature and wise than the educated people who post on rediff. they vote after considering the issues at hand. the so called lower castes do not feel that they have space within hinduism,a leader like vivekananda is the need of the hour,what we least need is someone like togadia who only ends up driving people out of hinduism.
