Q14. How and when the nuclear power of Pakistan came into being?

Ans: Nuclear Test:

India conducted three nuclear tests in Pokhran on May 11, 1998, this

disturbed balance of power in the region. The government of Pakistan was

hard pressed to reciprocate. Nawaz Sharif made historic decision to

withstand all global pressure and go nuclear. Six nuclear tests conducted at

Chaghi (Balochistan) on May 28, 1998; made Pakistan the 7th nuclear power

of the world and the first one in the Muslim World. This historic event

shattered Indian dreams of hegemony in the region.
