Q. Consider the following treaties related to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament:

1. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
2. Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT)

With reference to India's participation in the above, which of the statements is/are correct?
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: India is neither a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) nor the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). India opposes the NPT due to perceived discriminatory provisions and has not signed the CTBT, though it maintains a unilateral moratorium on nuclear explosive testing since 1998. Thus, India is not a party to either treaty.
