Building the infrastructure or modernizing the military?

I was going through the news and I noticed a column on India’s $30bn plans for the military modernization. Hang on a second, last week there was kind of peaceful talks between two counterparts of India and Pakistan in Egypt. Prior to that, about 2months a go there was an announcement of peace fire among the LTTE and the government of Sri Lanka.

The history has demonstrated that, any nation has either a choice to tackle the economical issues or the political matters. In this financial turmoil and India’s devastating economy, couldn’t the infrastructure projects be taken rather than military options?

So, what could be the real reason of this military improvement plans for India? Preparation for what so called “war on terror” or maybe another civil war in the region?
