Industrialist Ratan Tata applauded the spirit of Mumbai in an emotional Instagram post. Casting aside all differences, Ratan Tata urged the diverse people of the city for coming together to vanquish the terrorism and destruction on that day. Mumbai’s famous Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is one of the prime targets besides the Oberoi hotel, the Leopold Cafe, the Nariman (Chabad) House, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus train station. Ratan Tata had played a very key role in rebuilding the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. It took 21 months to restore the iconic hotel to its glory.

In solidarity with India, United States State Department deputy spokesman Cale Brown said on Wednesday that the US stands with India in fighting against terrorism and ensuring justice for the victims. Condemning Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, Israel demanded the perpetrators of the massacre be brought to justice.
