Q) Many of the export controls were slapped on the country after it conducted its first successful nuclear test in 1998 , and an arms race with rival Pakistan is still feared.
If I start with separating the clauses
1: Independent Clause:
Many of the export controls were slapped on the country
2:Dependent Clause
after it conducted its first successful nuclear test in 1998
3: Independent Clause
an arms race with rival Pakistan is still feared.
So My question is:
1:Independent clause (Comma-May/Maynot ) + Dependent Clause --- Correct
1.1: Independent clause (Comma-FANBOYS ) + Independent Clause---Correct
2:dependent clause (Comma- ALWAYS ) + Independent Clause --- Correct??? Do we need to put comma every time if the dependent clause comes before independent clause?
3: Here after Dependent clause
"after it conducted its first successful nuclear test in 1998" , AND (Comma +FANBOYS) + Independent Clause(
an arms race with rival Pakistan is still feared.)
How this is possible ,I mean Dependent clause , AND Independent clause.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Here two independent clauses are joined using comma + conjunction. The dependent clause is a part of the first indepedent clause - your confusion would get cleared, if you realise that a combination of an independent clause and a dependent clause as a whole is an indepedent clause. The structure here is as follows:
[Indepedent clause 1.1+ dependent clause 1.2] + Independent clause 2
1.1+1.2 together makes the independent clause 1
So your interpretation under point 3 is not correct - the structure you see (dependent clause, AND independent clause) is a result of taking this part in isolation.
