NUCLEAR DETONATION BY INDIA

The first article I read is titled “Nukes … they’re back: India’s surprise nucl

The next article that I read on this topic was “India Tests Three Nuclear Weapons” written by Joseph and Toby Dalton. In this article the authors explain the several nuclear detonations carried out by India. In the beginning of the article India’s nuclear weapon capabilities has been exposed. Joseph and Dalton write that India has approximately 400 kg of weapons-usable plutonium today. They describe that it only takes about 6kg of plutonium to create a basic bomb. It is also mentioned that India has conducted 3 nuclear tests in 1998. India is capable of delivering these devices through aircraft and missiles. They also mention that India has not signed “Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty” which bans the nuclear testing. The last point authors write about is the “Sanction Under the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994 (sec. 826(a))”. Which declares any country after 04/994 tries to transfer into non-nuclear weapon state or any country that detonates nuclear explosive !

The next article that I found on this topic was by Arvind Kumar titled “ South Asia’s Nuclear Neighbors”. In this article Arvind gives detail information about the nuclear test performed by India and condemns the India government actions. He starts by using words “hasty act by Indian government” which shook the world. However, he says India did not bread any treaties as it had never signed treaties such as Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty (NPT) or the Comprehensive test ban treaty (CTBT), therefore not -breaking any violations. He also raised the issue of Indo-Pak tension, as Pakistan followed India by conduction nuclear detonation. Kumar explains that the reason give by India president to US President was that testing was done due to “deteriorating security environment” and mentioned all the wars that India had been through in past decades. Then he mentions the internal issues of India highlighting the Pro-Hindu parties who influenced the explosions. He calls the BJP-led government “chauvinistic and hawkish”. Arvind moves on to describing the effects of the nuclear detonations. Fist effect he mentions is the escalated tension between India and Pakistan, about that he explained it will have more negative effect on Pakistan’s economy due to its fragility. He raises a genuine point by mentioning that India’s vast spending the project
