Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage.
Mahatma Gandhi understood the true nature of nuclear weapons when he sait that “Those nations who have atom bombs are feared even by their friends”. From the very beginning, nuclear weapons were instruments of terror and were used for coercion. Security with nuclear
weapons is achieved through creation of insecurity in the minds of other States. This is obviously a fragile basis for establishing peace and
security. But the problem is that if one State possesses nuclear, the only option for other countries to defend themselves against the threat of such weapons to acquire similar weaponry to deter possible use. Mahatma Gandhi, with his deeper understanding of human nature and
affairs of men and states, had recognized from the very beginning that the atom bomb played a political role. Contrary to what might have
been expected of the apostle of peace, he did not react for months, at least publicly, to the use of the atom bomb in Japan. However, his concern about its nature, especially as a horrendous weapon of mass destruction, was intense. He was to later describe it as a diabolical
instrument of violence. But for months after the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he kept silent because his concern was about the possible “use” of the atomic bomb to deny India its independence. It was only after the commitment to India’s independence became unambiguous that he came out against the bomb publicly.
