The Mumbai Terror Attacks of 1993 not only shook India’s financial capital but also exposed deep-seated communal and societal rifts, tracing back to the partition of India in 1947. These attacks, resulting in the tragic loss of hundreds of lives, were seen by many as a retaliatory act rooted in longstanding communal tensions. Despite this, the city’s remarkable resilience and the collective spirit of its people have been a testament to Mumbai’s enduring strength. However, this resilience also raises concerns about the city’s capacity to forget past atrocities too quickly, potentially allowing history to repeat itself. Critiques of India’s security reforms post-attacks suggest a persistent inadequacy in the nation’s legal and investigative frameworks, pointing to a broader systemic failure to learn from and prevent such tragedies effectively.
