India has always given people the impression that it is a country with a large population but a relatively backward level of development. Many people will worry about food and clothing. Judging from the photos in many news reports, the living conditions of many people in India are very low, even worse than those in backward mountain villages in China. Such a seemingly poor country spends a lot on the military. People who are interested in the military can often see in news reports that India has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy weapons from Russia and the United States. Why?

In fact, we only know the general living conditions of some bottom people in India, but the gap between the rich and the poor in this country is too large, which leads to our basic impression that India is a poor and backward country. India is actually relatively rich. After all, one of the BRICS countries has an average annual GDP of more than $2 trillion. In this way, you can spend tens of billions of dollars to buy arms and ensure your national defense security.

In addition, external pressure forced India to invest a lot of money in the military. A war broke out in western India. Secondly, there is a giant rising rapidly in the East, and that is China. Although China has always taken pacifism as its development principle, there is still pressure in Indian mind. China and India, both of which belong to the territory of Southeast Asia, China has developed so fast, and so has its military strength. India is under great pressure, but it can only strengthen the surface first and achieve great momentum.

People's livelihood in India is very serious. The general population of the country belongs to the poor population, and the gap between the rich and the poor is serious. India's richest people are the second in the world after the United States, and the reason for not developing people's livelihood is partly due to India's long-term institutional and psychological concepts.
