A protestor (L) listens to his leader at a protest against India's disputed nuclear energy deal with the US, in Mumbai on June 24, 2008. The fate of India's government, torn between saving itself or a nuclear pact with Washington, will likely be decided this week with the spectre of early polls looming, analysts and leaders say. India may see early elections due to a worsening split between the ruling Congress party and its left-wing allies over a nuclear deal with US. The government argues that the deal, which would give India access to the worldwide civilian nuclear energy trade even though it has not signed global non-proliferation pacts, is crucial for the country's energy security.
