About this ebook

The name of this book, ‘Nuclear Bomb in Ganga’ sounds fearsome. But, it is a hard fact which has to be brought in black and white for the safety of millions of Indians who consider the river ‘Sacred Ganga’ or ‘the Ganges’ as their mother.

After China detonated its first nuclear test on May, 1964 at Lop Nor, the USA was keen to keep track of further nuclear designs of Communist China in this region. The CIA teamed up with the Indian Intelligence Bureau (IB) to install a Nuclear Device on Nanda Devi Mountain to monitor further detonations by China in Lop Nor, across the Himalayas.

Inclement weather during the installation mission forced the team involved in the expedition to hide the nuclear-powered device in a ledge around 2000 feet below the installation point of the Nanda Devi Mountain. When the recovery team of Indian climbers was sent in October 1966 to retrieve the equipment, they found it missing in the glaciers due to avalanches.

The CIA and Indian Intelligence maintained an eerie silence about the missing device until it was exposed by an American magazine on 12 April 1978. The then Prime Minister of India, Morarji Desai, briefed the Parliament on 17 April 1978, about the missing device and appointed a committee of scientists to investigate this issue.

From childhood, My grandfather has taught me Ganga water is purest form of water and even in auspicious days, he used to sprinkle the water in our house as it is said to be holy. People took bath in Ganga water to have the satisfaction. Who has taken a bath in Ganga, known to be very lucky.But after I grew up, many controversial facts came to light that it's been contaminated which is true. Being in the coast line of the cities, it has become the dumpyard of the citizens and the carrier of germ.

The book "Nuclear Bomb in Ganga" written by RK Yadav is a remarkable work of non-fiction. The title of the book might suggest otherwise, but it provides in-depth information about the Ganga River and its origin. The author gives a concise history of the Ganga River and its connection to Hindu religion, including its traditional customs and festivals. The most significant aspect of this book is the portrayal of the pollution of the Ganga River and the efforts made by the government to clean it every year. The book also covers the history of nuclear tests and the era of India's Prime Minister's efforts to preserve the river. Additionally, the book explains how the Ganga was purified and its origin in the country. For those seeking comprehensive information about this place, this book is highly recommended.
