Atomic energy research in India started well before independence, but since independence, it has assumed an uncontested priority above all other branches of science and technology.

Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, believed that countries that possessed nuclear energy alone would have the capacity to rule the future.

He was convinced that the resources required for atomic energy research could not be mobilized by individuals or universities, and the state must play a leading role. The subsequent premiers have broadly conformed to this policy.

India's nuclear energy research has always been shrouded under secrecy as much as it has received unquestioned priority from the political establishment.

We at HistoryChatter are excited to introduce Atomic India, a 5-part series that takes up the history of atomic energy research in India, down to the nuclear explosions and their ramifications in national and international diplomacy, with all its dramas, intrigues and anxieties, narrated by Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay.

New Episodes Releasing Every Sunday from 5th March 2023
