India nuclear policy

India’s Nuclear Policy can be understood with the help of the following five points:

1. India advocates no first use and reiterates India’s commitment to global verifiable on non-discriminatory nuclear disarmament loading to a nuclear weapon free world.
2. Pt.Nehru always promoted science and technology to build a modern India i.e. initiated nuclear programme in the late 1940s under the guidance of Homi J. Bhaba.
3. India was against nuclear weapons, hence pleaded much nuclear disarmament with superpowers.
4. India always considered the treaty on the  Non-Proliferation for Nuclear weapons as discriminatory and refused to sign on it. It was because India could not take a risk with the threats of China and Pakistan.
5. Even India’s first Nuclear Test in May 1974 was termed as a peaceful explosion and India argued to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes only and for some development programs.
