About the Book: Indias Nuclear Dilemma: Deterrence Vs. Disarmament
The issue of nuclear weapons has dominated the international debate on peace,
security and stability of both the nuclear weapon and non-weapon states, despite
the conclusion of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in 1968. Indias approach
towards the question of nuclear weapons, prior to the May 1974 peaceful nuclear
explosion in Pokhran, was undoubtedly idealistic. This edition entitled Indias
Nuclear Dilemma: Deterrence Vs. Disarmament examines and analyses the
compulsions, commitments and constraints encountered by India, possessing
nuclear weapons and its delivery systems, yet not a nuclear state under the
definition of the NPT. About the Author Dr. Surya Narain
