It categorises India’s atomic trajectory into four distinct periods: Ambivalent (1948–1988), Reserved (1989–1998), Responsible (1998–2008) and Resurgent (2009 onwards). In doing so, the article provides an account of how the changing nature of India’s nuclear programme has impacted the scope and depth of its nuclear deterrence. However, the programme’s status is also consequential for India’s foreign policy practice and its approach to using force in international politics. The article shows how India’s nuclear capability, its foreign policy practice, and its approach to the use of force have seen dramatic shifts in the last thirty years. A resurgent India aims to become a world-class nuclear power, undisturbed by foreign perceptions of its atomic programme and increasingly resolute to use force even under the threat of escalation by its nuclear adversaries. – Reproduced   aIndia, Nuclear weapons, Doctrine, Use of force, Foreign policy. 935557  aIndia Quarterly: A Journal of International Affairs   aNUCLEAR WEAPONS  cAR  00102ddc40709395691aIIPAbIIPAd2023-02-16h78(2), Jun, 2022: p.350-370pAR128001r2023-02-16yAR
