        A BRIEF NOTE ON POKHRAN TEST     

                

                   It was on 7^th September 1974,  that happened in a place called Pokhran, a village near Jaisalmer of Rajasthan, which was described as the birth for Indian nuclear weapons. It was the first successful nuclear test by India which was happened on that day and started the real race for nuclear weapons in India.

  

  OPERATION SMILING BUDDHA

                    A team with the best scientists of India including Abdul kalam, Raja ramana, p k Iyengar, headed by Raja Gopala Chidambaram worked hard from 1967. They named it as the `Operation smiling Buddha’ and with the help of Babha atomic energy research centre(BARC) , completed their project by 1974 and without any delay they proceeded with the test that came out as the first successful nuclear test by India.

             

           Though the test was an underground operation which doesn`t release any harmful radiations into the atmosphere and even the statement given by India was that it was tested only for peaceful reasons, the enemy countries reacted in a completely negative way. USA and Canada objected the test while Russia remained silent in support of India. 

    

POKHRAN TEST 2

               Anyway India never stepped back in nuclear advancements though there were many internals political issues that tried to suppress the process but they failed in doing so, as India was ready with their next nuclear stage with 5 successive tests, 3 of hydrogen bombs and 2 of atomic bombs. The day was 11^th may 1998, after 24 years from the first test, the stage was ready for the play. Another milestone for Indian nuclear wing and on 13^th may they completed the remaining tests.

       

           Though USA had set a galaxy of satellites that concentrates on  India for 24 hrs  and a vast number of secret informers , they failed to guess the tests that were going to be taken place in pokhran.

        

             That proved Indian capacity of out breaking any technology that was concentrating on India including the USA`s most powerful satellites and their informers. And this wound not be happened without the support of Indian army which took the responsibility of construction and controlling of pokhran range. 

       

     That placed India in list of countries with their indigenous nuclear force…
