Chemical weapons featured as a prominent threat to peace and international ethics in the twentieth century. This paper looked at India’s relationship with chemical weapons and warfare, with special reference to its efforts following its signing and ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) of 1993. The paper briefly alludes to the realist, constructivist, and securitisation theories within the discipline of international relations to understand armament and disarmament processes. The research approach was qualitative. The data was collected from secondary sources and analysed through thematic analysis. The study concluded that India has substantially fulfilled its commitments so far as a party to the CWC. The paper cautions against the threat posed by non-state actors and emerging technologies that could possibly seek to jeopardise India’s largely positive track record concerning the handling of chemical weapons stockpiles in the twenty-first century.
