Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Even prior to independence our leaders dreamt India as a powerful nation. The then PM Pt. Nehru resorted to build nuclear power for the country in view of comprehensive security to the nation. During initial periods, India was not capable enough to accumulate nuclear warheads but with passage of time it developed nuclear power gradually. India resorted to Nuclear Test in 1974 for the first time under leadership of Indira Gandhi. Since then, the world powers resisted India’s efforts to possess nuclear power. Besides, the changes in political regimes in the country kept the nuclear policy changing from peaceful use and maintaining deterrence in nuclear use to maasive retaliation. But gradually it required to exhibit nuclear power and shifted its intention from moralpolitik to realpolitik. The present paper is a modest attempt to mark the shifts in India’s nuclear policy and influence of changing global scenario and changes in domestic political regimes. – Reproduced
