Noam Chomsky sits down with Lawrence Krauss in this episode of The Origins Podcast:

This month in India marked 21 years of the 1998 Pokharan nuclear tests, amid an acerbic and jingoist election campaign, resulting in the Hindu nationalist BJP’s return to power with Mr. Narendra Modi at the helm. Now that the cacophony of the election season is over, and the PM has extended greetings to his Pakistani counterpart, it is time we think more seriously about the impacts of intensifying militarization in a nuclear South Asia. We interviewed Prof. Robert Jacobs of the Hiroshima Peace Institute on the various human, climatic and political implications of nuclear tests.

DiaNuke.org interviewed former Union Minister, Mr. Mani Shankar Aiyar on the relevance of the ‘Action Plan for a Nuclear Weapon Free and Non-Violent World Order’ that India’s former Prime Minister, Late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, presented to the United Nations in June 1988. Mr. Aiyar had been instrumental in drafting and promoting the Action Plan. In this interview, he speaks about its continued relevance and also discusses the shift from India’s progressive foreign policy under the Narendra Modi government.

This interview shows clearly that the nuclear reactors built in such a structural world environment, are quickly sliding in to the path that the doomed Chernobyl reactor took.
