About this episode

With increasing political uncertainties, the risk of nuclear war has also risen. To highlight this heightened danger and urge greater caution, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock forward by one second, bringing us just 89 seconds away from catastrophe! But what does this really mean? We spoke with Dr. Manpreet Sethi, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Air Power Studies and an expert on nuclear deterrence, to gain a deeper understanding of this. Tune in to Puliyabaazi for an in-depth discussion on this critical issue.

We discuss:

* Will the world move towards more nuclear weapons?

* Can NPT remain effective in today’s world order?

* Types of Nuclear Deterrence Strategies. MAD and NUTS.

* Nuclear Arms Race

* Doom’s Day Clock

* Is it time for Global No First Use?

* India and China’s Vishwaguru stance

* Nuclear restraint mechanisms

* Is a Nuclear Weapons Free World possible?

* Towards Nuclear Energy

* What about research on Thorium?
