The Indian nuclear program was started almost immediately after independence by nuclear physicist Homi J. Bhabha, but kept consistantly on the backburner by Prime Minister Nehru (due to his pacifist leanings) until his death in 1965, and thus India only developed its first device in 1974, during the government of Nehru’s rather less pacifistic daughter Indira Gandhi, as a tech demonstration known as the "[[UsefulNotes/TheRestOfTheNuclearClub Smiling Buddha]]". New Delhi did not immediately create an arsenal for lack of a delivery system and also for lack of wanting to cause alarm in the UsefulNotes/ColdWar environment going on at the time.

Part of her motivation to accelerate the program and test fire a weapon, was to discourage American intervention after Nixon sent the USS Enterprise battle group into the Indian Ocean in early 1972 to flex political muscle on behalf of Pakistan. See UsefulNotes/TheIndoPakistanConflict for more details on that.

In 1998 however, India while under the rule of a more nationalist right leaning party, announced their unambiguous presence in the nuclear club by detonating five nuclear devices in the same desert test range used for Smiling Buddha. These devices included one low yield tactical (battlefield) weapon and one thermonuclear device. This was seen as a major intelligence coup on the part of India, as no one, not even the US intelligence community with its network of spy satellites could detect the weapons being built and moved to the test site. However, tit for tat nuclear tests by Pakistan signaled [[PakAttack their entry into the nuclear club too]] and was one of the instigating factors for the Kargil War.

In 1983, India began their ballistic missile program, culimnating in the [[MeaningfulName Agni]] series of ballistic missiles. Agni I is an SRBM (short-range ballistic missile), while Agni II, III, and IV, are IRBMs (intermediate range ballistic missiles. The Agni V is India's first ICBM, though they are also developing the Agni VI and the Surya, which can go even further.
