Indo-Pak At0mic Race | Pakistan’s Journey to the Nucl3ar B0mb | Syed Muzammil Official

The first evidence that Pakistan’s government was thinking of taking a scientific interest in the “Atoms for Peace” program came in late September 1954. The idea then evolved, things changed, and Pakistan also tried its best to join the list of N-powers. In this video, we start by addressing all of the initial stages, including whether there was any sort of political or economic pressure on the country, and go all the way to the final step of conducting the tests.
Video also discusses India and Pakistan’s position with respect to the international treaties like NPT. We have thoroughly researched roles of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) in the program. Towards the end, the video addressed the question whether Pakistan is a sovereign country because of the test and also provides solution to the problem of confrontation between India and Pakistan.
