Greater Ties to Pakistan in Mumbai Attacks

There has been more evidence revealed that indicates that Pakistani militants were behind the terrorist attacks in major tourism and financial districts in Mumbai. Yusuf Muzammil and Rehman Lakhvi have been named for being the masterminds of the attacks after being identified by American and Indian sources.

Identifying these attacks to be of Pakistani origin further separates any ties that India and Pakistan have been building over the past half century since they were forced to split into mostly Muslim and mostly Hindu areas. It also indicates that the greater trade ties between Pakistan and India have not been working to reinforce peace between the two nations, especially within the minds of the citizens of Pakistan. However, India’s response to the terrorist incident has been overwhelmingly calm, as many businesses and people went back to their daily routine only three days after the incident. This indicates that the country wants to continue working with Pakistan to reach greater peace.
