“Energy will be the immediate test of our ability to unite the nation, and it can also be the standard around which we rally. On the battlefield of energy we can win for our nation a new confidence, and we can seize control again of our common destiny”
- Jimmy Carter

This quote fits quite well in for every developing country that has taken steps of strengthening its ability to run the rat race that the powerful nations of the world have organized long back. The rat race is not in terms of maintaining peace and spreading harmony but dispersal of insecurity around the globe. It has hence become a dire need of the developing countries to lead the race of the nuke development. India has surged as a great leap of success in the minimum of decades compared to other developing countries.

Energy has been universally recognized as one of the most important input for economic growth and human development. There is a strong two way relationship between economic development and energy consumption. On the other hand, growth of an economy, with global competitiveness, hinges on availability of cost effective and environmentally benign energy resources.

India has been a part of the race ever since it was considered necessary by the country to deter the foreign forces. India’s nuclear weapons program is described by its government as a necessary minimum deterrent in the face of regional nuclear threats that include a considerably larger Chinese nuclear arsenal as well as Pakistan’s nuclear arms. This achievement that India is gaining in the span of time is making its neighbors a little restless it seems.

Amid all the success and development there comes a shocking revelation of mysterious deaths of a number of Indian Nuclear and Defence scientists over the past decade. In the past 3 years, two major nuclear institutions; Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and Kaiga Nuclear Facility, have reported at least 9 unnatural deaths of nuclear scientists and engineers who had been working with them. The latest casualty was discovered on 7th October, 2013, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Visakhapatnam; two engineers K.K Josh and Abhish Shivam (chief engineers connected with the building of India’s indigenous nuclear-powered submarine, Arihant.) were found dead in a very strange condition.

They were poisoned first and then left on railway tracks to make it look like an accident. The story of other scientists is strikingly similar. One thing in common: all deaths were in mysterious circumstances. There is obviously a well planned conspiracy behind this and our nation is under attack. Further investigation revealed that, they were working on one of the nation’s first nuclear projects of its kind and was under the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO).
In 2009 a senior scientist, Lokanathan Mahalingam, was reported to have committed suicide. The fact that no secret and sensitive documents were reported to be found near his body led the case to being treated lightly, and no serious investigations were conducted.

Similar reports reveal that, such abnormal deaths of individuals connected with nuclear projects have been going on since few years. Earlier, on 23rd February, 2010, M.Iyer; engineer in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre was found dead at home. The killer had used a duplicate key to enter the house and strangled the engineer in his sleep.

A year later on 29th April, 2011, a former scientist of BARC Uma Rao died unnaturally and was termed as suicide, while the suicide verdict was challenged by the family members as there was no contemplation than he was about to take such an extreme step.

These deaths point out the unnatural or conspired cause, these cases cannot be neglected by the government. Life and death are not within the control of human beings. Neither is natural birth nor death an anticipated event, but they call for astonishing attention. All these incidents probe us to think about a conspiracy behind it. Who all are becoming uncomfortable or feeling insecure because of India’s nuclear missions? Mysterious death of even a common man creates a wave of terror in the minds of the people,whereas these deceased people are scientists of vital importance to the country, the deaths of these people surely raises a question for the country’s security from unknown factors that might be the cause of these incidences.

As a matter of fact, it is true that Pakistan has always maintained envy towards India’s development and strength, if one considers the motive of such mysterious death it is quite obvious to point out the benefiter of the situation. A detailed investigation is needed by the government to understand the causality of these deaths; moreover the security of scientists working for such important cause should be the priority of the nation. Scientists like these have helped India stand as a superpower but the neighboring countries are trying to curtail the capability of Indian nuclear development by involving in such invincible cowardly acts.
