Read an Article in Firstpost (with few excerpts below). If we compare US's 26/11 investigation co-operation with India and with their (non) cooperation in 93 blasts. Nothing seems to have changed. The main thing with N.S.S.P, US has achieved, seems to be that they have managed to make India side blind/silent to red herrings from US.
I do not know what stops Indian govt to pass a law that for all internet messaging/mail services being offered in India, their data centers need to be in India and under Indian laws? I like Chinese steps taken on same. Why not India?

Headley’s video deposition changes nothing, US is still playing intelligence games with India
Excerpt:
............... There has always been nagging skepticism in the Indian intelligence agencies about the role of the US in combating terrorism in the South Asia region. The manner in which US intelligence agencies conducted themselves during the Mumbai attacks and its aftermath has only reinforced that impression. For instance, the US authorities were always less than forthcoming on their patronage to Headley. Similarly, they shared intelligence with India on need-to-know basis on all major terrorist strikes, including those in Mumbai, despite their being privy to definitive information.
Despite the euphoric proclamation from political establishments on both sides that bilateral relations are climbing new heights, the fact remains that the intelligence sharing between India and US on South Asia has always been beset by doubts and conditionality. Highly placed sources in the government maintain that since most of the servers were based in the US, Indian intelligence agencies were largely constrained to effectively police the cyber world.
“What we get from the US as input is often trickle in a vast ocean,” they point out, adding that in most of the cases their requests for further access are more often than not stonewalled.
