India conducted nuclear tests in collaboration with other nuclear powers to establish global dominance. The international community imposed sanctions on India after its nuclear tests in 1998. India's nuclear tests were met with applause and support from the international community. India's nuclear tests led to the signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). |
The international community imposed sanctions on India after its nuclear tests in 1998. |
The correct answer is option 2- The international community imposed sanctions on India after its nuclear tests in 1998. "India has consistently opposed international treaties aimed at non-proliferation due to their selective applicability to non-nuclear states, which perpetuated the dominance of the five established nuclear powers. As a result, India objected to the indefinite extension of the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) in 1995 and refrained from signing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). |
