Trans Asian Highway and Trans Asian Railway

Historically Railways have been the backbone of economy. A good highway coupled with a good railway network can bring prosperity to the sleepiest boondock. India has got a reasonably good railway network and with a little private network it can work wonders to its economy. What is needed is first openning up the Moreh link in Manipur with the Burma with a good road network. I remember there is already a trade agreement with Burma at this point but we need to make it a national highway so that people can travel to Burma and over to Thailand and Singapore on road. The north east should be made a corridor to full trade with the rest of east asia and the north west with central asia. The other road network that India needs to open is with the Pakistan and China. Infact India should take a keen interest in openning various trade routes with China. This will benefit tremedously the economies of the two countries. The future is very much in the economic cooperation between these two countries. Their border areas are perhaps one of the most beautiful places in the world. The mighty himalayas add so much glamour that a peaceful coexistence could fuel the economies of these places.
I am thrilled that now we have a bus service from Srinagar to Muzaffarabad. I hope some day I can take the bus ride. One of my biggest dream is to travel on silk route starting from Turkey to Singapore and then to Shanghai. It would be awesome if I can find a route to travel back to Europe by travelling in Siberia.
