it's bizarre how the indians accuse us of being paranoid about their actions in the country when their media itself is the one which either feeds on (or likely creates its own) hysteria
Afghanistan already has alternate means to sea water, Pakistani route simply provides the cheapest and shortest route to parts of the country; the remainder of Afghanistan (especially the western parts) bring in goods via road and via Iran and this has been going on for years and years. It's not as if this is a new thing
i do have a feeling though that the U.S. civil nuclear deal will be contingent on hindustany willingness not to engage with business in Iran; surely the indians are not as dumb as we think they are --they likely know this already. And as someone earlier pointed out, it's something the indian govt. will have to be prepared to confront. It's no secret that the U.S. --which is pushing for strategic partnership with india -will woo and sway and arm-twist the indians not to engage with them. But let's see.
