"Nuclear Weapons Development in India


This research traces nuclear weapons development in India and assesses this development in the context of both international and domestic relations. With respect to international relations, the decision by India to develop nuclear weapons was affected by the actions of other countries, particularly both the People's Republic of China and Pakistan, or at least India's perceptions of those actions.1 In turn, India's development of nuclear weapons affected the foreign and nuclear policies of other countries, again particularly China and Pakistan.2 With respect to domestic relations, India's development of nuclear weapons reflected the pursuit of both economic and political prestige objectives.3


Following this introduction, the history of nuclear development in India is examined. This examination is followed by a consideration of the interplay between India and other countries with respect to the development and use of nuclear weapons. An assessment of the effect on India's armed forces of nuclear weapon development is then presented."
