For India to work out a Spice Route itll have to make peace with Pakistan. Whether it wants to take the line via Iran to Turkey or via Afghanistan, Turkmenistan on to Khazakstan and Russia. But one could connect the heart of Europe with the interior of India. The journey itself will be shorter than the Silk route. The question is, can the south asian neighbours sue for peace? For the dividends are handsome and the opportunity to think and dream big large. Or will we continue to be hostage to a recent history, forgetting a more enmeshed past? For History will stand testament, those who think small have only ended up as serfs to those who dared to dream big.
