India's government survived a hotly contested confidence vote 275 to 256 on July 22, clearing the way for a nuclear deal with the United States. Millions of rupees in bribes were handed out by all sides, while jailed lawmakers were even released from prison so they could vote. Under the agreement, India would open its reactors to inspections in exchange for nuclear fuel and technology. (AP)
