India's Journey from nonnuclear state to nuclear state was challenging enough for which India was made to pay a heavy price. Acquisition of nuclear technology could help alleviate the country’s energy needs, sustain its economic development and provide a deterrent against the negative intentions of neighbours and others. At the same time, there was an awareness among India's leaders that Nuclear weapons could become a means to protect Indian territory from external forces However, India remained pronuclear disarmament.
Foreign Policy Experts see a paradox in India’s Foreign Policy i.e., on one hand, India wanted to develop nuclear weapons and on another hand, India called for global disarmament
We will trace India’s Nuclear Policy into the following four phases of time:
1. Phase1: 19471974
2. Phase2: 19741998
3. Phase3: 19982009
4. Phase4: 2009 Present
