For years we placed India in the same category as Pakistan. One is a dictatorship that proliferates nukes. The other is a stable democracy of 1.1 billion people that has no record of proliferation.
The problem is that the US tried to maintain a "balance" in the region in the first place. It supports dictatorship when it sees fit to support "stability" (ie Musharraf). It donated billions to him in military aid and cancelled debt.
