Summary	Since their founding as independent nations, nuclear issues have been key elements of nationalism and the public sphere in both India and Pakistan.

These original and provocative essays examine the political and ideological components of national drives to possess and test nuclear weapons. Equal coverage for comparable issues in each country frames the volume as a genuin.
