The strategy of every state has to decide on certain course of action and refrain from certain others and, the performance of each state affects the performance of others. China attacked on India in 1962; Pakistan fought a war with India in 1965, and the tests conducted by China and worsened relations between China and India and India and Pakistan. These tests had changed the security scenario in South Asia, especially in India. In the meantime, the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) was adopted for signature but India did not sign the treaty for its discriminatory provisions for nuclear and non-nuclear nations. Every country of the world was talking about NPT but on the other side persistently developing nuclear programme like in 1945 the United Nations, Russia in 1949, United Kingdom in 1952, France in 1960, China in 1964, the tests conducted by all the above mentioned countries compelled India to go for nuclear in 1974. After conducting nuclear tests in Rajasthan desert in 1974, India maintained that it was only for peaceful proposes. In 1998, India conducted five nuclear tests and declared itself as 'nuclear weapons state.' This paper examines that nuclear policy of India has many phases and why and how the country developed its weapons autonomously? | | Keywords : | | - Pupil Teacher and Gender,Balance,
