Speaker
Description
The study aims to understand how the government and media are reshaping nuclear discourse in India. An attempt is made to recognize the shift of discourse from theory to praxis. The study tries to understand how the rise of nationalist populism enhances the nuclear dangers and sees how the very idea of responsible and non-responsible nuclear states distinction is flawed. It will try to look at the impact of populist decision making on nuclear order. How the nuclear rhetoric used by nationalist populist leaders impact the nuclear crisis is the bone of the contention of the study. The first no-use policy of India has various implications and connotations attached to it and why it is no more relevant in present context will be dealt upon. The current political leadership in India has deepened the ongoing debate for autonomy in various atomic departments. However, the arrangement between Atomic Energy Regulatory Board of India and Department of Atomic Energy has undergone fervent criticism as former is subservient to the latter. This calls for separation of powers, which still is a far-fetched and unrealized goal to be achieved.
