It took three days for National Security Guard, Indian Arms Forces to crush out the violent terror attack on Indian commercial capital city Mumbai and it also took three days for me to decide whether I should share these pictures with you, showing this tragic event which tool nearly 200 lives. But then I decided to put them on to my site to show you how few senseless people want to disturb the peace of this beautiful world.
I glued myself to television set watching on various news channels what’s going on at Mumbai which came under unprecedented night terror attack. Prominent Hotel Taj, Oberoi were under siege, the whole nation was stunned to see this brutal act.
I know all of you have got some idea through internet and international media that how much damage has been done. Many thanks to Indian armed forces, police, Para Military forces, navy and above all Indian Security Guard who on Saturday wrapped up and eliminated three terrorists in Taj hotel after 60 hours. Taj freed from terrorists, but this battle have taken a tragic toll nation’s top police officials -chief of the anti-terror squad Hemant Karkare, Mumbai’s additional commissioner of police Ashok Kamte and celebrated encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar was also killed.
Pray with me for peace for the family members of all those who lost their lives in this heartbreaking cruel attack.

Terror can not take charge of India now, they can not win as we have more determination then them. This has happened that we are not afraid rather we are ready to face and fight. I really appreciate the Cammondo’s who killed these sick mind agents and pray for the innocent citizens. Regards: Krishan

If only India is stable politically, it will be the next great powerhouse after China and this tragedy alone says a lot about who is in charge and I should say, who should be in charge.
Our prayers go to those innocent lives who perished at the hands of politically-motivated terrorists. The world is seeing and the world is crying. I hope the world is doing something about it too.

Even after political wars now many other internal wars are beginning here. We should avoid this stuff.

Terrorism is a serious problem in India – and rather than “Talk against Terrorism”, we should unite and “Walk against Terrorism”.
Inspirit Blog strongly condemns the November 2008 Mumbai Terror Strike. Its a totally insane incident and a senseless tragedy that the stone hearted orthodox radicals engaged in!

Hope that the terrorists can find the true God of Love, Peace, and Hope

This was the headline of the news all over the world (last week). Imagine what the terrorists could do in seconds. May your country bring justice to the victims and eliminate the acts of the evil people.
