Abstract

This research study looks at the exposition of ‘Nuclearization of South Asia’ through a discourse analysis of the editorials of The Hindustan Times and the Dawn during post nuclear tests scenario that includes the issue of CTBT, testing of Agni II, and Ghauri II missiles by India and Pakistan respectively in 1999. The study finds that the print media of India and Pakistan are concerned about the nuclear race in the region. It also concludes that the elite press not simply comments on the events but also directs or formulates the foreign policy.
