Question:

______ treaty opposed by India was extended indefinitely in year 1995.

Options:

NPT - Non-Proliferation Treaty

Limited Test Ban Treaty

Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty

Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty

Correct Answer:

NPT - Non-Proliferation Treaty

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1: NPT - Non-Proliferation Treaty

Non-Proliferation Treaty opposed by India was extended indefinitely in year 1995.

India has opposed the international treaties aimed at non-proliferation since they were selectively applicable to the non-nuclear powers and legitimised the monopoly of the five nuclear weapons powers. Thus, India opposed the indefinite extension of the NPT in 1995 and also refused to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
