The Mumbai carnage week that shook India - and the world
Wednesday, 03 December 2008, 00:00 Hrs
It was the time for body count: 183 people - fathers, mothers and children including business people and backpack tourists, a rabbi and a veteran journalist - killed, more than 300 injured. Nine terrorists killed, one - Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab from Karachi - captured alive.
The images that would remain etched in the collective consience for a long time to come are flames licking the heritage building of the Taj, just across the road from its younger neighbour, the country's symobl Gateway of India. The two-year-Moshe at a Mumbai synagogue, still searching for his mother as a memorial was on for his parents, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and Rivka. An Australian tourist jubilant at release from the captivity. Roses, Mumbai girls gratefully offered to the commandos as they returned to their base after the putting their lives at stakes.
Gruesome details of the meticlulous planning that went into the 9/11 version 2 are coming out in media reports from Kasab's interrogation and so are alleged prior warnings and tip-offs. Ditto for the Pakistani links of the perpetrators.
After the body count, heads have begun to roll, starting with then home minister Shivraj Patil. Housewives and intellectuals, students and pensioners have hit the streets for the first time, voicing their sympathy for the bereaved families and their outrage at the ineptness of the political leadership and bureaucracy.
This was the week India realised the full significance of being a superpower-in-the-making.
