History

Historical Context

India’s first nuclear test, Smiling Buddha, detonated on 18 May 1974, prompted the creation of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Two decades later, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee ordered Operation Shakti, and on 11 and 13 May 1998 India exploded five devices at Pokhran with a combined yield of about 12 kilotons. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the tests, heightening regional tension.
