Book excerpt: This book examines India's nuclear position in the context of its domestic politics, exploring how the position challenges India's interests and values within the regional and international environment. It points to the militarization of Indian nuclear and space science, arguing that external pressures stimulated Indian nationalism and led to a dramatic change in Indian political and social thought about strategic affairs. Kapur asserts that the new Indian approach is to specify Indian strategic priorities and agenda, demonstrate political will by military and political action, bear and inflict costs on rivals, and engage the world through power politics rather than disarmament talks.

But what went unreported in the media was the nuclear fallout that had lasting impact on the inhabitants of Pokhran, especially Chaitanya. It quickly becomes clear that the conspiracy surrounding this radioactive fallout runs pretty deep in the establishment. Those who have had a hand in covering it up are willing to go to great lengths to ensure that the secrets stay buried. Chaitanya sets on a journey to expose the truth. With Zara by his side, he is sure to bring justice to his people. But when fate snatches Zara away from him, he is consumed by revenge. Undeterred by threats, he embarks on a mission that takes him from the deserts of Pokhran to those of Syria, and into the halls of MIT. A heady page turner, at its very core, Pokhran is an exceptional journey of revenge, courage, love and the unbeatable human spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India started its nuclear research with the sole purpose of utilizing nuclear power for its technological and industrial growth However, despite her moral dilemmas and restraint demonstrated since her first test of a peaceful nuclear explosive (PNE) in 1974, a variety of factors led to India's two nuclear tests on May 1998, In the wake of these tests National Security Advisory Board of India issued a Draft Report on Indian Nuclear Doctrine, The draft doctrine suggests that India intends to develop and deploy nuclear weapons based on the triad of plations. The nuclear forces, however, are sought only to be minimum possible to credibly deter nuclear weapons use or coercion against India, Considering the imperatives of the Indian deterrence posture as per the draft doctrine, and the state of her weapons and missile program an estimate of the number and type of weapons and delivery systems has been made, The information used in arriving at the conclusion is from unclassified sources, A countervalue target set of top ten cities of a hypothetical country is selected, Assumptions have been made, using other such authoritative works, wherever specific data was not available due to its classified nature, Within these limitations, it was found that India needed to develop and deploy 165 nuclear weapons of 50 KT yield, 70 weapons of 20 KT yield, 200 Agni 2/3 missiles, and 35 Prithvi 2/3 missiles to achieve the deterrence posture sought in the draft nuclear doctrine.

Download or read book Nuclear Bodies written by Robert A. Jacobs and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War reconsidered as a limited nuclear war "[A] grimly important analysis of the cold war."--Andrew Robinson, Nature "Inexorable clarity and care for his fellow humans mark Robert Jacobs's guide to the Cold War as a limited nuclear war, whose harms disfigure any possible future."--Norma Field, author of In the Realm of a Dying Emperor: Japan at Century's End In the fall of 1961, President Kennedy somberly warned Americans about deadly radioactive fallout clouds extending hundreds of miles from H-bomb detonations, yet he approved ninety-six U.S. nuclear weapon tests for 1962. Cold War nuclear testing, production, and disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima have exposed millions to dangerous radioactive particles; these millions are the global hibakusha. Many communities continue to be plagued with dire legacies and ongoing risks: sickness and early mortality, forced displacement, uncertainty and anxiety, dislocation from ancestors and traditional lifestyles, and contamination of food sources and ecosystems. Robert A. Jacobs re-envisions the history of the Cold War as a slow nuclear war, fought on remote battlegrounds against populations powerless to prevent the contamination of their lands and bodies. His comprehensive account necessitates a profound rethinking of the meaning, costs, and legacies of our embrace of nuclear weapons and technologies.

Book Synopsis The India-Pakistan Nuclear Relationship by : E. Sridharan
Download or read book The India-Pakistan Nuclear Relationship written by E. Sridharan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict resolution and promotion of regional cooperation in South Asia has assumed a new urgency in the aftermath of the nuclear tests by India and Pakistan in 1998, and underlined by the outbreak of fighting in Kargil in 1999, full mobilization on the border during most of 2002, and continued low-intensity warfare and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The stability of nuclear deterrence between the two countries is therefore a matter of great urgency and has found a place on the scholarly agenda of security studies in South Asia. Several books have been written on India’s nuclear programme, but these have been mostly analytical histories. The India-Pakistan Nuclear Relationship is a new departure in that it is the first time that a group of scholars from the South Asian subcontinent have collectively tried to apply deterrence theory and international relations theory to South Asia.
Book Synopsis Atomic Assistance by : Matthew Fuhrmann
Download or read book Atomic Assistance written by Matthew Fuhrmann and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear technology is dual use in nature, meaning that it can be used to produce nuclear energy or to build nuclear weapons. Despite security concerns about proliferation, the United States and other nuclear nations have regularly shared with other countries nuclear technology, materials, and knowledge for peaceful purposes. In Atomic Assistance, Matthew Fuhrmann argues that governments use peaceful nuclear assistance as a tool of economic statecraft. Nuclear suppliers hope that they can reap the benefits of foreign aid-improving relationships with their allies, limiting the influence of their adversaries, enhancing their energy security by gaining favorable access to oil supplies-without undermining their security. By providing peaceful nuclear assistance, however, countries inadvertently help spread nuclear weapons. Fuhrmann draws on several cases of "Atoms for Peace," including U.S. civilian nuclear assistance to Iran from 1957 to 1979; Soviet aid to Libya from 1975 to 1986; French, Italian, and Brazilian nuclear exports to Iraq from 1975 to 1981; and U.S. nuclear cooperation with India from 2001 to 2008. He also explores decision making in countries such as Japan, North Korea, Pakistan, South Africa, and Syria to determine why states began (or did not begin) nuclear weapons programs and why some programs succeeded while others failed. Fuhrmann concludes that, on average, countries receiving higher levels of peaceful nuclear assistance are more likely to pursue and acquire the bomb-especially if they experience an international crisis after receiving aid.
Book Synopsis The Roots of Rhetoric by : Haider Nizamani
Download or read book The Roots of Rhetoric written by Haider Nizamani and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unanticipated flurry of atomic weapons testing—a total of 10 tests over 20 days in 1998—India and Pakistan announced to the world their emergence as full-fledged nuclear powers. How, Nizamani asks, did nuclear escalation come to dominate the agendas of both nations? In a comparative analysis, Nizamani reveals the political underpinnings of nuclear weapons development, arguing that Indian and Pakistani nuclearization is linked to processes of national formation. Working within the Critical Security Studies framework, Nizamani traces the development of nuclear discourses in India and Pakistan from early nationhood to the present. Nizamani defers conclusive identification of real or objective national threats, and instead examines the historical specificities and internal tensions of the dominant Indian and Pakistani security discourses. Additionally, Nizamani provides an overview of anti-nuclear dissent in South Asia.
