But for Indian citizens, those three days truly, clearly, and certainly were their 9/11. Supposed Muslims claiming mujahideen status abruptly slaughtered innocents in the subcontinent’s largest city. Perhaps, away from the noxious and monstrous carnage, foreigners shouldn’t be so quick to tell Indians what they did or did not experience. What is true, and a few pundits and pandits get this right, is that the global implications of the attacks will...
