This article attempts to find out why it became imperative for Pakistan to acquire nuclear weapons despite external and internal pressures. It examines the significance of Pakistan’s nuclear weapon tests in May 1998 in the backdrop of India’s initiative. It identifies the factors that helped the proponents of Pakistan’s nuclear weapon tests, which this writer calls Pakistan’s security epistemic community (SEC), to succeed against the external and internal opponents of Pakistan’s nuclear deterrence and outweigh their case for Pakistan maintaining a non-nuclear stance.
