Summary

This book examines the growing public support for India's nuclear 'option', culminating in the enthusiastic reception of the nuclear tests of May 1998 and the subsequent engagement with India's nuclear weapons policy. Unlike most studies of India's nuclear history and politics that focus on policy, this book look at the public debate on nuclear policy to explain why certain government actions proved so acceptable to a very large section of India's attentive public'-upper and middle class Indians who care about foreign and defence policy and critique the government on such matters. The author's focus on the debate as opposed to policy helps explain the timing and popularity of the tests; the lack of serious, publicised movement on weaponising India's nuclear capability after May 1998; and India's continuing push for global nuclear disarmament.
