So they get to use Indian military bases (LEMOA), but they are not promising to help India after that? What a bad deal.
Not that mutual defence treaties mean anything to America anyway. China seized the Scarborough shoal from the Philippines in 2012, and America chose to abandon their mutual defence treaty, rather than sanctioning China for even $0.01.
That's how much their mutual defence treaty was worth, not even $0.01. Less then the piece of paper it is written on.
