Uncontrollable anger waiting to strike out fueled it. Revenge has only 3 goals: to consume, to corrupt, and also to ensnare. On the stretch of history, revenge has caused this downfall of empires, this deaths of innocents, and has struck fear to the people that were typical. Quite often, this revenge is triggered by rivalries. About possession of Kashmir, Pakistan and India have been quarreling for the last few decades. On Wednesday, for not giving the lands, Nov 26, 2008, terrorists from Pakistan wished to take revenge. This quest for vengeance unleashed a terror the citizens of Mumbai, India, won't ever forget. 



Since the people were enjoying on the clear nighttime before Thanksgiving, the town of Mumbai was lit with lights. Their night wouldn't stay peaceful for long. By 11: 00 P.M., a group of armed terrorists entered this majestic Taj Mahal Hotel. In no time, the gunmen published a barrage of bullets, causing chaos. Many were injured or killed within the attack. People who survived hurried to find refuge. Some of them hid awaiting help. Others locked themselves in their rooms. By midnight, the police had surrounded the building. Their hopes were rapidly dashed. An enormous blast lit the hotel aflame's dome. 

The raging fire rapidly spread during the building. Military soldiers and firefighters shortly arrived on this scene to get this situation under control. Throughout the next day, the flame was extinguished, and about 3 hundred folks had been evacuated from the building. By the morning of Nov 29, the threat had been removed. The Taj Mahal Hotel was only among the numerous targeted places in the 3-day siege in Mumbai. A total of at least 172 folks were killed in the number of attacks, also local hospitals were overflowing with injured survivors. The citizens of Mumbai were devastated. Many had lost members of the family throughout the terrible attack.

The spectacular town had been left in ruin, damaged by explosions also gunfire. Revenge has struck once more. 


What these terrorists do not realize is they haven't accumulated anything out from the attack. Vengeance does not help anyone, but itself. Revenge unleashes a savage beast that lies inside this evil nature of mankind, a beast that seeks only to destroy. All of this advancements also efforts will be in vain. Peace would allow culture to thrive.




As India always advances the peace treaty with Pakistan, these attacks can lead to a downfall of understanding. Even after 10 years of the Mumbai attack, Mastermind Hafeez Saeed roams freely in Pakistan and that's what gives pain to the people survived or lost their loved ones. A total of 166 or more died on that day and 1 terrorist Ajmal Kasab was caught alive, who constantly claimed himself as Pakistani but Pak officials denied. The reporters from news channel went Pakistan and talked to their relatives but authorities claimed that he is not a Pakistani.

As now relation between USA and Pakistan is not good and if this time another terror attack of this magnitude strikes India from Pakistani terrorists than it will result in War claimed by experts. As many as 7 suspects were present in Pakistan and neither ISI or Court sentenced them or punished them, Pakistan is always a great supporter of Terrorism as they took help from terrorist groups to grip their involvement in Afganistan or J&K in India.
