Hi and welcome,
Its about CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty). If India signs, then it will have to give up testing. Its not too much a big deal, and it does not mean giving up nuclear weapons.
As of now, most testing is done in labs via computer simulation. While the tests that do get carried out are in the nature of "sabre-rattling".
Hey buddy.
I'm just wondering if what Abir said here is true:
Benny signing CTBT means destroying all nukes India posses as India is not a declared nuclear nation. This rule is not applicable to the countries which are declared nuclear nations and China is one.
I've tried reading about it, but I haven't seen anything that says signing the CTBT means you have to give up nuclear weapons.
Maybe he's confusing it with the NPT?
