Your route through Iran may not last and the thing about transporting through road is, its fast.
Giving a trade route would mean giving an air route too. How are we to know what goes in? Iran might help you with the trade but I'm guessing India would not want to involve Iranian customs in a scandal with transporting illegal materials too, namely guns, bombs, etc.
To get all these things into Afghanistan India has to spend a whole lot more. Why should we make it cheaper?
Why will we supply Guns and Rockets to Afghans...??
We provide monetary support and aid to groups favourable to our cause and they support us when we need them...thats all that is needed
and secondly Iran is with us in our common cause i.e. to gradually draw Afghanistan away from pakistan's sphere of influence
also we are not as fixated on you giving us a trade route as we make it seem ....coz we already have a good alternative
I feel that GOI is just clamoring for a trade route knowing well that pakistan wont allow it and will use your refusal to show taht pakistan is acting against the national interests of Afghans.
It will be a PR victory for us thats all.
and speed comes into picture only when we need to transport perishable commodities like milk...and this route seems good for even that .
