Mourning the deaths of the people who scarified their lives, he highlighted the kindness and the way in which people put their differences aside and joined forces to get through difficult times.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, Tata Sons Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata shared a post on social media on Thursday that has resonated with many.
Tata shared a sketch by artist Sanjana Desai of the iconic Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai, one of the sites of the terrorist attacks, which carried the message ‘we remember’ on it.
The industrialist, who headed the Tata Group at the time of the attacks and ensured the restoration of the hotel despite massive property destruction, wrote that “the senseless destruction that took place 12 years ago today will never be forgotten.”
“But what is most memorable is the way Mumbai, as a diverse people, came together, putting all differences aside, to defeat the terrorism and destruction of that day,” he wrote.
“Today we can certainly mourn those we lost and honor the sacrifice of the mighty ones who helped conquer the enemy, but what we must applaud is the unity and acts of kindness and sensitivity that we must cherish and that hopefully will continue to shine. in the years to come, ”he wrote.
Tata had also written a similar tribute to all those who lost their lives last year. “We can get hurt, but not knocked out,” he wrote.
Tata’s post was widely shared on both Instagram and Twitter, and was appreciated by many.
