| Buddha smiles again! - India's test nuclear again at Pokhran |
|
|
|
| Pokharan-II refers to test explosions of five nuclear devices, three on 11 May and two on 13 May 1998, conducted by India at the Pokhran
test range. These nuclear tests resulted in a variety of sanctions
against India by a number of major states. On 18 May 1974 India
exploded its first nuclear device code named Smiling Buddha. After about a quarter century, on Buddha Jayanti, 11 May 1998, Operation Shakti was carried out. Shakti (शक्ति in Sanskrit meaning 'Strength'), is also the name of the Hindu Goddess of strength. Shakti was the codename for Pokhran-II.
