US and India are trying to rectify the dysfunctional relationship they had over 50 years. US recognized at last that India has come of age and can no longer be ignored, shoved to the side and made to sit in the corner. The cold war scenario is replaced with US dominance. That shift also made India to correct its slanted stance and move closer to US. Next to China, India will be the nation for commerce. It just dawned on US that India has commercial potential. That is the reason why Clinton is visiting India after a long hiatus of any US presidential visit.
I still can't see how Clinton can persuade the Indians to embrace CTBT NNPT etc, while the US congress is not too enthused about them. Asking Indians to shed nuclear cover / ambitions making them naked against Chinese threat is like Dhushasana stripping Draupadi of her Sari. Indians will exercise the usual "slip, slide and glide" technique, meaning a lot of circumlocutions, a practiced vagueness, polite conversations, avoidance of confrontation etc.

Indians have made a lot of progress in the atomic and delivery systems without US help. US is coming to India, because India can't just be ignored anymore. Indians will advance in technological arena without US help, but that much slowly. Indians have proved it time and again. So it is in the mutual interest that US and India should cozy up.
