Understanding Silk Route

The historical silk route advanced and developed the cultures, cities and people; as they traded and exchanged ideas, they learnt and borrowed from each other that was how ancient civilizations of Central Asia and China and later Mediterranean and India met. The Silk Route has assumed the status of a metaphor to describe change and continuity in the affairs of Central Asian regions. This Route has been a vibrant passage to transmit faiths, ideas, cultures, art and crafts and Merchandise in the entire region. The route has witnessed its vicissitude and remained dormant for longer periods in time and consequently disappeared more than once. It is reported that presently this route is witnessing its third revival. In the present scenario, the different states of the Central Asia and other countries in Asia are engaged in reviving the historical memories of having enjoyed the blessing of this Route.
