Question

India is a signatory to which of the following treaties?

• A. Strategic Arms Limitation Act I (SALT-I)
• B. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT)
• C. Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)
• D. Partial Test Ban Treaty (PTBT)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Partial Test Ban Treaty (PTBT)

Nuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction. To limit the risks of a nuclear disaster, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) was passed. India is not a party to both the treaties. Both the treaties benefit the big nuclear powers and limit the nuclear growth of the developing nations.
