'Obama should signal to carry forward nuke deal with India'

The Obama White House is getting prepared for its first full state visit when US President Barack Obama will host India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Manmohan Singh's three-day state visit starting on November 23 is being seen as a touchstone of Obama's intention of sustaining a relationship that deepened under his predecessor George W Bush. US-India ties were deepened under Bush whose Administration signed a landmark civilian nuclear agreement with India. And scholars believe that it will be hard for Obama to come up with something comparable.
