Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Where Does India Stand ? English 2010

Where Does India Stand? Barack Obama has made the CTBT a priority in his non-proliferation policy and has promised to seek Senate ratification of the Treaty. Once the US ratifies the CTBT, there will be extreme pressure on India to sign it. Should India sign the CTBT or link it to complete nuclear disarmament? What will be in India's interests? This book tries to address all these issues. Going deep into the historical background of the CTBT, it examines India's stand on it. Also, it analyses the impact of nuclearization of India and Pakistan on South Asia, the Indo-US nuclear deal, the security interests of the US and the Pakistan factor.
