Answers
As India upholds the policy of world peace and mutual coexistence, India champions the cause of both qualitative and quantitative disarmament as very important for the present day world. Right from the time of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, India has maintained this stance for peaceful cooperation. Of course total disarmament is not possible as every nation has to defend itself and has to be prepared for it. The expenditure on armaments could be moderated and balanced with expenditures for welfare of the people. This is one of the primary reasons for advocating disarmament.
