Kunal takes you back this week to look at the historic Pokhran-II tests, the moment India officially became a nuclear power. Back in May 1998, India secretly carried out five underground nuclear tests in the Rajasthan desert, shocking the world. Code-named “Operation Shakti,” these tests were a huge achievement for the country, led by Dr R Chidambaram and Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and a team of brilliant Indian scientists. We'll break down how they pulled it off, what it meant for India's global standing, and how the world reacted. It’s a story of science, strategy, and India making its mark on the world stage.
