Elephant in the room: Papier-mâché elephants wait to be purchased at a local shop in Srinagar on Oct. 16. Although the reopening of the 106-mile (171-km) trade road is a breakthrough for India and Pakistan, there’s still reason for caution. The road will be open just two days a week; only 21 approved items will be allowed through; and non-traders will not be permitted to pass. Plus, the enmity still runs high. When the Indian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, was bombed in July, India placed part of the blame on Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence agency, worsening relations between the two countries.
