M K Narayanan was India’s National Security Advisor from 2005 to 2010, a period during which India saw the July 11, 2006 and November 26, 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai, as well as the spate of jihadist bombings in towns and cities across India from 2006-10.
While September 11, 2001 helped to focus global attention on the reach and expanse of global jihad, November 26, 2008 was a direct wake-up call for India’s security agencies.
