Revisiting Nuclear India: Strategic Culture and (In)Security Imaginary

A novel investigation in defining the country’s nuclear policy choices since 1947



Interrogating the socially constructed nature of a nation’s strategic culture to explain its nuclear security policies is not a common practice in the mainstream scholarships of strategic culture studies and International Relations. Revisiting Nuclear India is an effort to reorient strategic culture and international security studies in this direction.



This book renders a novel line of theoretical and analytical approach to study a discursive link between the reconstructions of India’s strategic cultures, insecurities, and India’s nuclear policy choices from 1947 to the present.
