Uit de publicatie:
Introduction India's Nuclear Programme is not new and dates back to pre-independent India. It was in 1944 that Dr. Homi Jehangir Bhabha wrote to the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust for starting Nuclear Research in India. This resulted in the establishment of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) in 1945, paving way for a full-fledged programme. However, in over six decades of its existence, the programme has failed to incite as much interest as it has done in the last few years in view of the '123 Agreement' recently signed between India and United States. India's policy of maintaining nuclear secrecy has been the main reason for this. India is not alone in doing so. Nuclear programmes, the world over have symbolised power and hence have been loaded with secrecy.
