  Making the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party's nuclear tests in 1998 as starting point, this book examines how opinion amongst India's 'attentive' public shifted from supporting nuclear abstinence to accepting - and even feeling a need for - an assertive policy, by examining the complexities of the debate in India on nuclear policy in the 1990s.
