4. Historical Reading
Operation Smiling Buddha (MEA
designation Pokhran) was the
assigned code name of India’s
first successful nuclear bomb test
in 18 May 1974.
5. Development of nuclear we have clear example of
The United States detonated two atomic bombs over the
Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9
August 1945, respectively. The two bombings killed
between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were
civilians, and remain the only use of nuclear weapons in
armed conflict.
Thus North Korea and India’s nuclear programmes are
developed in defiance of the US, and challenge the right of a few
powerful nations to dictate to the rest of the world, but nuclear
proliferation can hardly be seen as progressive in any way.
