Harsh V. Pant and Yogesh Joshi
The transition in India’s nuclear identity has been accompanied by its transformation into a major economic power and underlines a pragmatic turn in its foreign-policy thinking. This book provides a historical narrative of the evolution of India’s nuclear policy since 1947, as the country continues its pursuit for complete integration into the global nuclear order. Situating India’s nuclear behaviour in this context, the book explains how India’s engagement with the atom is unique in international nuclear history and politics.

Description
India has come a long way from being a nuclear pariah to a de facto member of the nuclear club. The transition in its nuclear identity has been accompanied by its transformation into a major economic power and underlines a pragmatic turn in its foreign-policy thinking.
This book provides a historical narrative of the evolution of India’s nuclear policy since 1947, as the country continues its pursuit for complete integration into the global nuclear order. Situating India’s nuclear behaviour in this context, the book explains how India’s engagement with the atom is unique in international nuclear history and politics.
Aided by declassified archival documents and oral history interviews, it focuses on how status, security, domestic politics, and the role of individuals have played a key role in defining and shaping India’s nuclear trajectory, policy choices, and their consequences.

Review
A book written with clarity on a subject that is too often obscured by jargon. It discusses the broader themes of status, security, domestic politics, and the role of individuals in India’s nuclear policy. This book is an invaluable resource that I would recommend to scholars and the politically aware layman.
—Shivshankar Menon, former Indian Foreign Secretary and National Security Advisor
Harsh V. Pant and Yogesh Joshi have written an excellent account of Indian nuclear policy from 1948 to the present. They draw on the latest archival evidence, laying out the history with great clarity. Their analysis is acute, and their judgments shrewd. This is an exceptionally helpful guide to a complex but vitally important subject.
—David Holloway, Raymond A. Spruance Professor of International History, Stanford University, USA
This book captures the essence of India’s nuclear policy with incisive analysis and clarity. It is a must-read for those who wish to understand the complexity of its nuclear decision-making and rationale behind the restraint the country has exercised.
—Srikumar Banerjee, former chairman, Atomic Energy Commission of India
