"trade with Central Asia" is NOT AN END IN ITSELF, it is only one MEANS of many to improve our lot in the world. We are looking to trade, prosper and develop. For that we need energy, raw materials, technology and markets. If tomorrow Central Asia disappeared from the planet, the rest of the world would go on....maybe a little jolt in the energy markets....but ultimately ....puf ! Nothing terrible. ( sorry to any central Asians reading this - I love Borat ) there are other sources for energy ...and technology in this area is moving fast.
Don't confuse what the Indian government is trying to do.
Mate, you are wasting your time by arguing with somebody who is blatantly dishonest in his arguments and trolls in an invisible mode apparently because he enjoys unquestioned patronage on a Pakistani forum due to their higher-than-deeper-than relationship.
He talks sanctimoniously about how China and Japan, despite their enmity, do trade and never exchange fire between them. But then he totally ignores how India herself indulges in trade with China despite enmity and does not exchange fire across a volatile border with China. Just shows his intellectual dishonesty.
Access to Central Asia is a good thing to have for their resources, but it is not worth the high costs involved with it. Evidently, India has been doing just fine with next-to-no access with Central Asia. Even then, we could still reach Central Asia through Iran if Indian government really wanted it that badly.
But then how can you argue with somebody who is only pretending to listen?
