With the conflicts India has had with China...irrespective on where you place the blame...you can understand how some people in India do not want to build a superhighway and train line through the Himalayas into India.Yeah. There's the camp in India which wants to build a win win relationship with China, and embrace projects like this, and then there's the camp which is frightened and/or wary of China and its intentions.
On the hand, I read at about the time Modi visited China this year, that he was in favour of the railway connection to India through Myanmar (I think it was Myanmar) I mentioned earlier.
He clearly trying to keep to the old non aligned ideology.
They view those mountains as a protective shield and it will take a lot of negotiating, assurances, and trust for them to open the door to it.
I am not saying that they necessarily shouldn't...just pointing out what some of them view as the reality.
