There is no right way in dealing with them. The west also partially failed, as evident by how India took their praises as license to consider themselves above the law when dealing with the west.Land itself is not main issue. Show weakness to depraved Brahmin only invite more aggression, than if no trade at all.
The right way to deal with Indians is follow what west does, who have been succesful. Like that "Hidenburg report". Once sufficient insult and pain afflicted they be like "sar phull sappart to BRICS sarr".
You just have to repeatedly beat Indians over the head and then sometimes offer relief in exchange for secure gains. And I'm sure that's the whole idea of normalizing relations with India.
