India has long maintained a commitment to a speedy process of nuclear disarmament, as stated by various Prime Ministers and its Permanent Mission to the UN. While India’s nuclear program initially aimed to deter adversaries, its strategy shifted after Pakistan’s nuclear weapons development. While Rajiv Gandhi proposed an Action Plan for nuclear disarmament in 1988, it gained no traction, leading to India’s nuclear tests in 1998.
