  this is where the 10 pakistani terrorists armed and trained by Lashkar-e-taiba landed on the 26th of november, 2008. They had taken inflatable dinghies from Kuber, a fishing trawler in which they traveled from the Gujarat coast to Mumbai. They abandoned the trawler some 20 nautical miles from the coast and moved in on the rubber inflatable rafts. Upon reaching this place, they discarded their inflatable dinghies, split up into small groups and warded off some local fishermen who inquired who they were. The fishermen raised an alarm with the police (ignored, in the usual Indian-police style). They killed 176 people in all. All but one of the nine terrorists were shot dead. The lone surviving terrorist who was captured at a police checkpost near Chowpatti beach is now pivotal to the ongoing investigations. Several LeT leaders have been found guilty of funding, planning, training and executing these attacks. It is learnt that these men had planned to take people hostage and make a return journey into Pakistan.

  Lashkar-e-taiba was just a cover used by ISI. Real purpose was to show the technology of delivering tactical nuclear weapons with dead accurate precision, which it proved beyond reasonable doubt. The attacks were completely successful in the actual purpose. Attackers were always meant to die.

  The date when India adopted its Constitution was the date when 70 percent of the people became illegal residents of India, because the new law did not recognize their legal right to stay where they were staying till that date from the beginnings of time. Those places occupied by 70 percent of its people became suddenly unpopulated in law and free for use by anyone. There are many homeless people like Kolis, about 70 percent of Indians are like them.
