US and India at Nuclear Stalemate?

From BBC News:

"US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has repeated American warnings to India that time is running out for an oft-delayed nuclear accord. Objections from the Indian government's communist allies have delayed the deal...

Under the terms of the controversial deal, India would get access to US civilian nuclear technology and fuel...

In return, Delhi would open its civilian nuclear facilities to inspection - its nuclear weapons sites would remain off-limits..."

The motivation here:

"US arms contractors are competing for weapons contracts in India, including a deal to supply 126 multi-role fighter aircraft, worth $10 to $12bn"
