- The Stanley Foundation
If there were any doubts about whether India matters to the rest of the world, they were silenced by an event known in the country as 26-11. On the 26th of November 2008, the world's attention turned to a frightening chain of events unfolding in Mumbai—the great cultural and financial center located on the west coast. If the terrorist attacks on Mumbai were, in fact India’s 9-11…Simon Marks reports from the place that one might call its ground zero.
Simon Marks' report, released in March 2009, is part of the documentary special "India Rising" produced by the Stanley Foundation, KQED Public Radio, and KUT Austin.
