Prior to this there had been considerable debate in the country on whether India should go nuclear and whether she could afford to do so. Now that India is set on the nuclear path, much of the debate is theoretical Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has of course stated that India does not intend to make nuclear weapons of destruction. But nuclear technology and nuclear explosions, whether for peaceful or destructive purposes cost of the same. If the question whether India can effort it at all is relevant now, it is so only to the extent that we are discussing the pace of development of nuclear technology. The more significant question especially since India still claims that its nuclear programme is strictly for peaceful purpose is: Is it in India's security interest to renounce the use of nuclear technology for building nuclear weapons. | | Keywords : | | |
