"(...) such a river of life as nowhere else exists in the world". Una descripción de Kipling de la carretera, que se encuentra tanto en sus cartas como en la novela Kim (disponible en línea en: [2]. Kipling escribe: "Look! Brahmins and chumars, bankers and tinkers, barbers and bunnias, pilgrims -and potters - all the world going and coming. It is to me as a river from which I am withdrawn like a log after a flood. And truly the Grand Trunk Road is a wonderful spectacle. It runs straight, bearing without crowding India's traffic for fifteen hundred miles - such a river of life as nowhere else exists in the world."
