Never Again: India Cannot Afford another 26/11

This write-up must compulsorily commence with a homage to those who suffered the effects of the terror-related acts in Mumbai on November 26, 2008. Targeting Mumbai means targeting India’s growth potential and attempting to prevent the inflow of foreign capital into India due to the inability of the State to stabilise conditions for normal economic activity. One of the major achievements India never boasts about is that in 13 years since 26/11, it has remained relatively free of big-ticket terror attacks. Another major terror-related event in India would give an impetus to global radical jihadists and boost the confidence of Pakistan’s deep state which masterminded 26/11 and other major acts. For example, I would always anticipate Pakistan- How to up Our Game While we have travelled many miles from 26/11 in terms of security yet in the spirit of making India fully secure, all institutions such as garrisons, government offices, schools, colleges, hospitals and even manufacturing facilities must have an alarm system and a procedure for emergent security contingencies.
