Throughout the ancient and medieval periods in India’s history, the region of the world most important for developments in the subcontinent was central Asia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Asia is rich in hydro carbon resources. Central Asian hydrocarbons would improve Europe’s energy security. Central Asia is a land bridge between Europe and China. In recent years China has became increasingly interested in the region as a trading route to Europe.

Central Asian nations are important because of their close ties to Turkey.Central Asian countries are rich in oil, natural gas, and other resources, and therefore, it makes sense for the Chinese to extend their economic muscle to that part of the world.
