India is prepared to walk the "extra mile" to normalise relations with Pakistan if it takes action against the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks and dismantles terrorism infrastructure, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor has said.

The trial of the Nov 26 Mumbai terror attacks is 'important' to prove that Pakistan is a 'terrorist state' , Maharashtra Home Minister Jayant Patil said here Wednesday.

A child who was badly injured in the Mumbai terror attacks deposed before the Special Sessions Court on Wednesday. Ten-year-old Devika Rotawar entered the witness box on crutches.

Three major faux pas in quick succession by the authorities have embarrassed India, especially when it is engaged in a diplomatic face-off with Pakistan over the Mumbai attacks. You would have imagined government babus would shed their habitual sloth in the collective effort to bring the 26/11 accused to justice, but the past week has showed that all the criticism heaped on bureaucrats for their inefficiency and sloth is justified.
