Summary
Details

In terms of the wild violence, social mayhem, political and religious contention, India finds itself in the filament of failed or failing states in the neighborhood. The region is described as the most dangerous, unstable and anarchic part of the world sourcing uncontrolled 'terrorism'. This unrestricted terrorism has led to the nuclearisation of the region, claims Bharat Karnad, well known scholar.1 India achieved independence on 15 August 1947 and almost immediately marched to the front lines of the movement for universal nuclear disarmament. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, (known as father of Nation in India) while writing in the Harijan2 in September 1948, said, 'I regard the employment of the atom bomb for the wholesale destruction of men, women and children as the most diabolical use of science.'3 India introduced a resolution in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 1948 that stressed the need for effective international control of atomic energy4 followed by the proposal submitted to UN in 1949, designed to restrict the spread of nuclear weapons.5 In 1954, India became the first country pressing for putting an end to the nuclear weapons6 by proposing a non-discriminatory non- proliferation treaty (NPT in 1965). Initially, India's behavior tallied to its non- proliferation and disarmament stance. It is widely believed among the Indian scholars that India's interest in nuclear technology was limited to its peaceful uses, such as the production of economical electricity.
