[Reader-list] Kashmir as HUB on Central Asia Trade Route. When was that?

[Bipin]

Dear Kshemendra,

Abolition of article 370 is my point of view (and so many my fellow Indians also) will help Kashmir bring back in the normal situation and get amalgamated with India. I don't want to look into the Kashmir history, but looking to the future of it. Whatever happened in the history, good or bad is past, but I am looking for the probable prosperity in the future. And not only valley but whole Jammu & Kashmir even including POK since one day it will be with India only.

So, I am looking to broader prospect and not at all restricting to valley. Since, problem created in valley by so called separatists only and they Are responsible for present situation and huge unemployment. 

Thanks
Bipin

Dear Sonia
 
Bipin seems to have inadvertently posted into the Reader List your correspondence with him.
 
The two of you were discussing Abolition of Article 370 / Industrial Policies / Business and Employment Opportunities. Very pertinent observations by you.
 
I found interesting/intriguing the following comment by you:
 
""""" the fact that Kashmir which was once an entrepot, a hub on the lucrative Central Asia trade route """"""
 
I wonder what you meant by "HUB". 
 
The two of you were discussing Indian Controlled Kashmir. Please do inform when it was that Kashmir was a "hub" on the the Central Asia Trade Route. There must be credible references testifying to that. Never too late to learn.
 
While asking my question I have kept in mind both the routing of the "Silk Road" as well as that of the "Mughal Road" (and it's purpose).
 
Repeating myself, Indian Controlled Kashmir is under reference and especially the Valley
 
Kshmendra
