Gandhiji painting series- Remembering 26/11

The 2008 Mumbai attacks (often referred to as November 26 or 26/11) where more than 10 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai India's largest city, by terrorists ,pictures of burning Taj Hotel made a deep impact all over the world .By choosing to attack Mumbai's  iconic hotel, the Islamist terrorists have sent a powerful message to India's leaders, foreign investors and tourists as well as the country's new economic elite.

Perhaps the terrorists intended, striking a blow against a symbol of Indian wealth and progress and sending shivers down the spine of some of the richest and most powerful people on the planet 
through the tragedy and loss of November 26, 2008, what has emerged are the acts of courage and generosity of lesser known heroes that held the city of Mumbai together on that day. This painting is a tribute to the resilient spirit of Mumbai, The city of dreams and the never say die” spirit of the city.
