Post 26/11 Mumbai Attack: Vulnerability of India’s Internal Security

For a progressive country, internal peace and stability are more important so that a common citizen is able to live peacefully and perform his duties without any fear. But withering away of the authority of the government, religious cleavages, tribalism violence, overcrowding, crime, terrorism, desertification and deforestation, social failure and the repressive apparatus of the state security force will lead to increasingly anarchic conditions aggravated by the erosion of the nation state and the empowerment of the private armies. In this paper, an effort has been made to analyse the vulnerability of India’s internal security that led to 26 November, 2008 Mumbai attack and the action taken by the security forces to tackle such type of attacks.
