I would like to see the map because of both geographic and geopolitical obstacles such a route poses.

To the west of India lies Pakistan and to the north of India lies China. That pretty much leaves a shipping route most of the way, including into the Red Sea where a rail head would start. Good luck threading that needle northwestward from there with all of the bad actors in that region.
