The shortest trade route between India and Constantinople would be the land and sea route. This route would involve traveling overland from India to a port on the Arabian Sea, then sailing across the Arabian Sea, through the Red Sea, and finally into the Mediterranean Sea to reach Constantinople. This combination of land and sea travel would be more efficient than either the land or sea route alone due to geographical constraints and historical trade patterns.
