On May 11, 1998, five atomic tests propelled India into a group of nations with nuclear capabilities achieving self-reliance in developing nuclear weapons. Twenty-six years ago between 11 and 13 May, India scripted history when it conducted a series of underground nuclear tests with five bombs in Pokhran, Rajasthan. At 3.45 pm on 11 May, the tests were initiated, under the assigned code name Operation Shakti, with the detonation of one fusion and two fission bombs. Called the Shakti series of tests, they came to be popularly known as the Pokhran II tests, as they came after the 1974 single nuclear test, also in Pokhran. Speaking a couple of weeks later in Parliament, Vajpayee declared that, “India is now a Nuclear Weapon State. This is a reality that cannot be denied. It is not a conferment that we seek; nor is it a status for others to grant.”
