The aftermath of the attacks saw a massive outpouring of grief and outrage, both in India and around the world. The attacks were widely condemned, and the Indian government launched a series of investigations and inquiries to determine the circumstances surrounding the attacks.

The 26/11 attacks had a profound impact on India and the world, highlighting the threat of terrorism and the need for international cooperation to combat it. The attacks also led to a significant increase in security measures in Mumbai and other Indian cities, and a renewed focus on counter-terrorism efforts.

The Indian security forces, including the Mumbai Police, the Indian Navy, and the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), responded quickly to the attacks, and a massive operation was launched to neutralize the terrorists. The security forces, including commandos from the National Security Guard (NSG), were able to storm the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and the Oberoi Trident Hotel, and rescue the hostages.

The attacks began at around 9:30 pm on November 26, 2008, when two groups of terrorists, armed with AK-47 rifles, hand grenades, and other explosives, landed on the shores of Mumbai using boats. The terrorists, who were identified as being from the Lashkar-e-Taiba organization, quickly made their way to several locations in South Mumbai, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, the Oberoi Trident Hotel, the Leopold Cafe, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station.

The attacks lasted for four days, during which time 166 people were killed, including 26 foreigners, and over 300 people were injured. The terrorists, who were identified as Ajmal Kasab, Fahad Ali, Aman Tiwari, and Rana Kawas, were killed by the security forces.
