India’s achievement is all the more striking given that the Pakistani terrorist attacks on Mumbai – India’s financial nerve center and commercial capital – in late November 2008 came in the midst of the crisis. The terrorists dented the worldwide image of India as an emerging economic giant, a success story of the era of globalization, and a magnet for investors and tourists.
而将印度的成就衬托得更为引人注目的，在巴基斯坦恐怖分子于2008年11月对孟买——印度的经济神经中枢和商业首都——的袭击事件。当时正值危机中期，印度的国际形象——正在崛起的经济巨人，全球化时期的成功故事，全球投资者和旅游者的圣地——都因恐怖分子的暴行而蒙上了阴影。
