Mumbai, Nov 26: India won't forget 26/11 easily. In 2008, on this date, the country's busiest metropolitan city and financial capital, Mumbai was attacked by gun-wielding men from Pakistan who killed 166 people and injured hundreds of others.

The lone surviving gunman in the incident, Ajmal Kasab, was executed in Pune's Yerwada jail at 7:30 am on November 21, 2012.

The Twitter community has been paying tributes to those who were killed in the horrendous shootout, using the hash tag #LestWeForget and #IndiaWon'tForget26/11.
