    The 2008 Mumbai attacks were carried out by Pakistani terrorists over four days, killing 175 people. The attacks targeted multiple locations across Mumbai, including hotels, hospitals, and train stations. The Indian military responded and had secured most attack sites by November 27th, but attackers remained at the Taj Hotel. On November 29th, special forces concluded operations at the Taj, killing the remaining attackers. In total, over 700 hostages were rescued from the targeted locations. Though it caused great suffering, Mumbai recovered and the targeted sites like the Taj and Oberoi hotels resumed normal operations. The anniversary serves as an opportunity to remember the lives lost defending India.

    ------------------WHAT HAPPENED?

    -------------------
    The 2008 Mumbai attacks were more than 10 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks
    across Mumbai, India's largest city, by Pakistani terrorists. The attacks, which drew
    widespread global condemnation, began on 26 November 2008 and lasted until 29
    November, killing at least 175 people and wounding at least 308.
    Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the
    Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, Nariman
    House, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's
    College. There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at
    Vile Parle.

    ----------------------HOW IT ENDED ?--------------------


    By the morning of 27 November, the army had secured the Jewish outreach center at
    Nariman House as well as the Oberoi Trident hotel. They also incorrectly believed that
    the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers had been cleared of attackers, and soldiers were leading
    hostages and holed-up guests to safety, and removing bodies of those killed in the attacks.
    However, later news reports indicated that there were still two or three attackers in the
    Taj, with explosions heard and gunfire exchanged. Fires were also reported at the ground
    floor of the Taj with plumes of smoke arising from the first floor. The final operation (the
    action is officially named Operation Black Tornado) at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel was
    completed by the NSG commandos at 08:00 on 29 November, killing three attackers and
    resulting in the conclusion of the attacks. The security forces rescued 250 people from the
    Oberoi, 300 from the Taj and 60 people (members of 12 different families) from Nariman
    House. In addition, police seized a boat filled with arms and explosives anchored at
    Mazgaon dock off Mumbai harbour.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    After these great sufferings, Mumbai is now again as usual, crowded, The Taj Hotel,
    Oberoi Trident, etc are now running smoothly as nothing has happened. It came back to
    life once more. We proved it to the world, that no one can destroy our prosperity. Let us
    remember the souls Martyers who died for their country like Major Sandip Unnikrishnan,
    ATS Chief Hemant Karkare and many more. Let us bow our heads before all this great
    souls who sacrificed every thing for their country. Also let us pray for their souls and for
    their family, as they are too, suffering, even now, to the almighty God.
