How India Made a Nuclear Bomb | Flashback With Palki Sharma
It's been 25 years since India surprised the world with a series of nuclear tests in the deserts of Rajasthan. ​But the roots of this nuclear project date back to the period after independence, when the global nuclear race was heating up.
Why and how did India make a nuclear bomb? How were these tests hidden from the watchful eyes of the United States.

[@UlsterHound77]

​@@adityavjajodia3940You have to understand it from that time. The NPT as it stands is almost obsolete. But, at the time, every country was either of the forgotten and irrelevant global south or under the US or Svoiet or later Chinese nuclear umbrella. No one else needed nukes and the NPT was to basically ensure no rogue states would aquire nukes that would destabilize an already tenuous system. Now though, times have changed. That being said, preventing further proliferation is still ideal because if one person gets nukes, his neighbors will get nukes and thus THEIR neighbors will get nukes. The issue with existing nuclear powers is disarming. Sure, in theory, every nuclear power would be fine with getting rid of their nukes if every other nuclear power got rid of their nukes. But, as an Indian, would you actually get rid of your nukes? What if Pakistan was lying? As an American, would you get rid of your nukes? What if Russia and China were lying? So you don't actually get rid of your nukes. You hide them. But Pakistan, Russia, China... they are thinking the same thing, so they don't get rid of their nukes.

[@docrex1678]

For this treachery, Morarji Desai was given the Nishan-e-Pakistan award! In the mid-1990s, when Gujral was the PM, Pakistan even threatened to Nuke India. But India was powerless to respond in kind. Gandhi and Gandhians have nearly destroyed India. Thank God that they were incompetent and India has survived and thrived.

[@nostalgic8377]

India's first nuclear test. On the morning of May 18, 1974, a nuclear device was detonated in the Rajasthan desert near Pokhran, India. This event came as a shock to the entire world. Work on a nuclear fission device had been authorized by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on September 7, 1972. A small team of about 75 scientists and engineers at the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) began the process of designing and developing an atomic bomb. The head of the development team was Raja Ramanna. The plutonium for the device was extracted from the CIRUS (Canada-India Reactor U.S.) research reactor, a 40-megawatt reactor supplied by Canada that began operating in 1960. The device's design was similar to the implosion design used on the Fat Man bomb, but the Indian design was simpler and less sophisticated than the American system.

Very few people know that the father of India's nuclear program Homi Bhabha was a student of Neil Bohr, father of Nuclear Physics and the one who proposed the nuclear model and a lot more! Bhabha was a genius who proposed to Nehru that nuclear energy could be harnessed for energy and other non-miliary uses. However Bhabha also knew that India would have to acquire nukes at some point because China had already become a nuclear state and only nukes will give India a credible deterrent. In the book "Conversations with the crow", Gregory Douglas has written that, in his conversation with Robert Oakley, the CIA director admitted that CIA was behind the plane crash that killed Bhabha! Perhaps Bhabha paid the price for pursuing the nuclear option. He had however laid down the framework and his successors had no trouble in completing his task. India's "No first use" policy was done under compulsion of the time so as to reassure the world that its intentions are for defense and deterrence alone. I would rather India maintains a strategic ambiguity much like Israel that has the nukes but has not declared itself a nuclear state. India should get rid off its "no first use" policy and not have any policy on it. Let its enemies keep guessing!

You just see this News report video..., India's journey in building atomic bomb was way more interesting and was so long since the time of Neharu and the world betraying India for choosing dialogue in UN instead of military in J&K during partition, and through wars with China and Pakistan, Misterious death of Lal Bahadur Shastri in Tashkent, and Homi J Bhabha's mysterious death during the same time, and till the time of Vajpayee, with all the sanctions and pressure from the west, and with the immence contribution and sacrifice from many great Nuclear scientists of India like Homi J. Bhabha, Raja Ramanna, Abdul Kalam and many more, The secrecy maintained during the final tests... ohh god all these stories are way more thrilling. Definitely "Good and Dedicated" Indian film makers should take up these stores to big screen.

Wow! The best story teller! We need to learn a lot from you in the way you put the points in order and the way you narrate them! Great skill!

[@sreekumarnair3104]

Hi Palki, your flashback is doing great 👍. It is refreshing our memories and giving hypocrites something to ruminate 😊. Keep up these lessons. Who knows, someday you might get offers from universities around the world to teach 😊. And I would be so pleased!😊

Palki ma'am explains the news so well and her power of expression is amazing.

[@anthonyajibolaomoruyi8054]

It will be safer for every country to nuclear weapons because it will result to mutual respect and no one country will bully another.

Palki delivering the news is a good watch. I don't remember the subject matter the other night, but I could see the chyrons in my head and laughed while listening at dinner.😅

Superb summary of events. Keep going !

[@bshetty5131]

very informative, this is true journalism thank you Ms. Palki great👍

[@natrajanrajasekaran]

Having battle ready nukes is the best form of deterrence. As always ‘might is right’. To be a responsible power, the military might and economic might must go together.

[@ssinghparamdeep11]

thanks a lot for sharing this so esteemed and hair raising story with us, why do our books never teach us these so important things which will make every Indian proud of themselves, anyways i hope some bollywood producers make a great movie on this amazing and unprecedented moment in our Bharat's history.. Jai Hind..

[@neelarnav7954]

Having nukes was important because if we did not have them then China Pak axis would destroy us. Also, these are a landmark moment in our history and India's No First Use policy being held since 2 + decades shows that we are indeed a peace loving nation.

[@muhammadsulaiman1361]

Mentioning about the Indian 🇮🇳 Nuclear weapons without involving the Moscow, is like the history of France without mentioning the Nepoleon.

3:19 have nothing but huge respect for the amazing work of Dr. Shashi Tharoor's captivating book, *How British looted 45 trillion from India* which unquestionably stands as a masterpiece of the highest quality. The content of the book is truly awe-inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The dedication and hard work poured into the book are greatly appreciated by many, he is the true hero in our story. Additionally, the Union Public Service Commission has delivered a remarkable report titled संघ लोक सेवा आयोग *How Britishers killed 1.8 billion Indians. Chronology of British Raj's exploitative policies* | UPSC," which is equally astounding. The commission consistently produces insightful and thought-provoking articles of the utmost caliber, and I sincerely hope they continue to produce such exceptional work.

Would you rather have been conquered by Russia, France, or Spain, or would an Islamic tyrant be to your liking AGAIN? Perhaps the Japanese or Germans? As an American with Irish ancestors, I am comfortable saying this. Even the Irish do not complain about the British as loudly as India. Move on with it man. There are current problems to address. Kindly consider this. America was a British colony. As a Pennsylvanian, I am proud of our colonial days under the British. It was these days that left America with traditions and institutions providing the tools to push back and punish the nascent tyranny CURRENTLY affecting us and much of the world. I am confident India will continue to be among the powers to lead humanity toward a more perfect civilization. I suspect India will continue to be a force for good. I hope and pray America will be there with it.

[@neilmanx1001]

@@DWalsh-bg1cu That's all good but don't forget the "race" equation when it comes to India and the attitudes in colonial times. Ireland, America and Britain colonization of those places is very different from that of India.

[@DWalsh-bg1cu]

​@@neilmanx1001 Don't you see. It is Divide and Conquer. The elites tried to do it to America in the Civil War. They did it in Ireland with the Catholics and the Protestants. They did it with Jews and Palestinians. Suni vs Shia, Pakistan vs India, et cetera et cetera. Okay, okay, consider this . . . The simple facts on slavery are this. In 1807, Haiti was the first "Nation" to outlaw slavery . . . EVER. (I have researched this. There is no record of slavery being outlawed before Haiti. However, any reasonably observant person today must acknowledge human civilization goes 10s of thousands of years beyond Babylon and Mesopotamia. Perhaps, Atlantis outlawed slavery?) Before the West (and Haiti) slavery was everywhere man. The Royal Navy and America ended slavery (regardless of the motivations, they did end slavery on the high seas) in the West. Slavery continued and continues in Africa and elsewhere. After Haiti, Britain began to outlaw the slave trade in 1809. This continued through the 1830s. Then the biggie. America had a civil war largely to outlaw slavery. ~700,000 American men DIED in this civil war (1860 US population ~33 million.) The South did not recover for about 100 years. (It probably was not until the 1980s that the South was on the same level of income as the North with the exception of Texas.) Southern capital and wealth were completely devastated. Further, before the industrial reconstruction after WW II, life in Europe was miserable. Europe was in a constant state of war. Antibiotics, electricity, transportation, machinery, even fertilizer or refrigeration, clean water, &c were not invented or not available. Russia did not end Serfdom until 1861 (the same year of the USA Civil War.) NOW -- The UK has Rishi Sunak as its prime minister (I am confident you know about Mr. Sunak.) America had Mr. Obama. Indian nationals are welcome and accepted in both nations. The West is being punished for its success. There is so much to be done and so much more humans can accomplish. Working against each other is counterproductive. The future is so bright. The wealth that will be generated by cooperation is gonna be so vast. The world is on the cusp of great discoveries in energy, building materials, construction techniques, transportation, nutrition, farming, clothing, medicine, &c. I suspect that this is a driver of the current nascent tyranny with its wars, pandemics, malignant lies, prevarications, gaslighting, and other control mechanisms. If Humanity is not controlled soon, we will be too rich to ever be controlled. They are trying to kill us before we (the masses) get too powerful. The elites (Smart People) poison our food, water, air, and medicines to weaken us and cull our numbers. I know America is fighting back. We have a constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the will to fight tyranny. America is gonna win this war and save the world again. Okay, sorry I went off. You do have a point about the English Crown. However, they did leave something. You gotta admit that. The common law, a practical and effective form of government, traditions of an honest and effective bureaucracy/legislature/judiciary. Anywho, India is on the way to greatness, . . . again. DIXI

Good Morning Palki. Wonderful video. The presentation therein was crisp, concise and factually correct. In time like these, what was so heartening to see was the impartiality and lack of affinity to any one particular political party / establishment. Well Done.
