About The Book:
By exploding five nuclear devices on May 11 and 13, 1998 at Pokhran, the BJP-led government hijacked India's independent, peace-oriented nuclear policy and twisted it out of shape.
What was the BJP-led governments motivation in doing so?
What was India's nuclear policy for the first 50 years after Independence?
What is nuclear deterrence and has it worked historically?
What does nuclear weaponization entail?
Is India now a real nuclear weapons state?
Is a nuclear arms race on in the subcontinent?
How much will nuclear weaponization cost?
What is the CTBT and should India sign it?
What did Vajpayee's bus diplomacy and the Lahore exercise actually achieve?
Can nuclear weaponization in South Asia be reversed?
N. Ram (Editor, Frontline), drawing on scientific inputs and assessments from physicist T. Jayaraman, assesses the reasons and implications of this move in a manner accessible to both the interested layperson and the specialist. |

Review:
"Ram's text is short and punchy, shows remarkable foresight about the Kashmir conflict, and bears the scientific wisdom of his collaborator, physicist T. Jayaraman."
