Question

There have been many peace treaties signed for nuclear disarmament. However, India has not signed any. What do you think could be the reason?

• A. India does not support the global disarmament treaties.
• B. India believes these treaties allow only a few countries to possess nuclear weapons.

• D. India has plans to increase its nuclear arsenal.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B India believes these treaties allow only a few countries to possess nuclear weapons.
C India believes in universal disarmament.

India has supported the idea of universal disarmament; however, it has not signed any significant global nuclear disarmament agreement. India feels that the existing treaties are discriminatory as they allow few nations to possess nuclear weapons.
