History

Historical Context

India’s nuclear programme began with the 1974 Smiling Buddha test and accelerated under Prime Minister Vajpayee, who ordered the five Pokhran-II detonations on 11 and 13 May 1998. The tests triggered UN sanctions and spurred a defence-industry push, evident today as Amit Shah opens the Uttar Pradesh Trade Show featuring BrahMos missile production at Lucknow.
