- Description
- Episode Description
- I.K. Gujral was an Indian politician and cabinet minister who served as Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1976-1980, and later as Prime Minister of India in the 1990s. The interview begins with a discussion of the debate in India on nuclear weapons in 1964, which, because of the changed international situation, engendered virtually no opposition in Parliament to developing a weapon. Mr. Gujral goes on to discuss conditions under Indira Gandhi, who confronted further changes in the security environment. He gives his reaction to the Sarabhai Profile and the subsequent peaceful nuclear explosion of 1974; to Pakistan's nuclear test; and to the NPT debate, in which he participated. Other topics covered include Prime Minister Gandhi's stance on nuclear issues, India's relationship with the United States during her term, India-Soviet relations, and the crisis over Bangladesh in 1971. He provides details of India's nuclear collaboration with the USSR and of his country's antagonism with Pakistan.
