About the Book: Indian Nuclear Policy
India has come a long way from being a nuclear pariah to a de facto member of
the nuclear club. The transition in its nuclear identity has been accompanied by
its transformation into a major economic power and underlines a pragmatic turn
in its foreign-policy thinking. This book provides a historical narrative of the
evolution of Indias nuclear policy since 1947, as the country continues its
pursuit for complete integration into the global nuclear order. Situating Indias
nuclear behaviour in this context, the book explains how Indias engagement with
the atom is unique in international nuclear history and politics.Aided by
