In remembrance of the deadly attack, Ratan Tata shared a panting of the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, that said, “We remember.”

Along with the painting, he wrote a caption in his post and paid tribute to the martyrs and the people who died during the attack.

“The wanton destruction that took place 12 years ago today will never be forgotten. But what is more memorable, is the way Mumbai as a diverse people came together, casting aside all differences, to vanquish the terrorism and destruction on that day. Today, we certainly can mourn the ones we lost and honour the sacrifice of the brave who helped conquer the enemy, but what we must applaud, is the unity and the acts of kindness and sensitivity which we should cherish, and which hopefully, will continue to shine in the years ahead,” Ratan Tata said in his post.
