Could be possible to ship by sea from Bandar Abbas in Iran, but I have no actual experience of that. But shipping by sea, clearing the customs in India will most likely be a nightmare. Port Klang, Malaysia, gets much better reports on this (Bangkok seaport is also corrupted, or at least it used to be).
Pakistan is not 100% safe everywhere, but on the other hand, problems are mostly in areas, where you wont have to go on the main overland route from Iran to India. And regular locals are just as fantastic as they are in Iran, so youll definitely miss a lot if you skip it. But naturally everyone has to decide for themselves.
