Now that you mention it I remember growing up and it seemed at the time that India was under almost constant terror attacks from extremists. I just remember seeing on the news announcements of bombings and the 2008 Mumbai attacks I can clearly remember because of the hotel. Something about that hotel really stuck with me.

Were you in India in 2008?
Yes, one of the grandest hotels in India, The Taj Hotel was attacked in November 2008, the same year when, I can see the most of the terror attacks were done. It was because the 2010 Commonwealth Games were scheduled in New Delhi and they wanted to create an atmosphere of fear among the foreign countries.

No I would have been in 8th grade. I haven't been to India before but my great uncle who lived next door to us had his PhD in philosophy and went to India with students countless times and would tell me all sorts of stories!
