Operation Shakti
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Operation Shakti refers to the second round of nuclear tests conducted by India on May 11 and May 13, 1998. It was popularly referred to as "The Buddha smiles again." In contrast with their first test, Operation Smiling Buddha, this series of tests were of purportedly militarized nuclear devices, including one which was claimed to be a hydrogen bomb (though many non-Indian experts find this claim unlikely).
