| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The main strategic rationale for keeping the option of nuclear tests open will be for the creation and maintenance of the Indian nuclear deterrence capabilities. An effective credible nuclear deterrent would be comprised of four components: (a) sound nuclear doctrine; (b) deterrent capabilities; (c) delivery capabilities; and (d) adversaries' defensive capabilities. A deeper understanding is imperative at this stage to arrive at any conclusion on the issue of India's testing option. |
