I have heard all of these stories before. In fact as a teacher I also taught a chapter that discussed Hemant Karkare and Major Unnikrishnan. But none of the sources made the narratives as gripping as you did. Like a good story teller the effect you have on the audience is of a lump in the throat not a bawling mess. I salute your skill as well as, of course, the bravery and resilience of the sung and unsung heroes of these and other such heroes.
I have been a long term fan of TISS before it was a thing. The day I wrote a comment on Varun's channel and he responded, it was a fan girl moment. But I love how you have come into your own after the split from SNG. I love the real Kautuk.
9th Standard ICSE
Was just a kid when this incident took place but after listening this stories I legit got goosebumps . Its amazing of yours to say told this story without any problem ❤️
The way every single staff member of the Taj had back of the 30 guest and offered the kind of hospitality, in the thick of the crisis, was indeed a greatest act of bravery, courage and consciousness.
P. S : my greatest condolences to the family members who lost their loved ones in the series of terrorist attack took place between 26 to 29 November.
I was just 8 years old back then & 800 kms away from mumbai but still my mom was so afraid that she didn't allow me to go to school that day. We were continuously watching the news channels & praying for all the victims over there. Your video made me remember all of that & put me in tears man.
I Can't Forget that Day and I'm one of those Fortunate Ones who Survived
Include these short stories n the names of these brave soldiers n civilians into our textbooks to let the new generation know how India even after being held against the wall can fight back n fight back hard.
PS. the best episode so far.
Respect for the martyrs.
I was 8 years old at that time and I don't live in Mumbai but still there was a fear and everyone was glued to Tv for innumerable hours.
Mumbai faced a lot that day but it's so inspiring that a lot of people showed humanity to unknown people of unknown religion and that is what we called United India.
Kautuk, you are an amazing Story teller and I am sure if you sell tickets it will be a big houseful.
All the best 👍💯
the way you put these stories in front of us is incredible. I was with teary eyes through out. Please tell more stories like these.
I am literally cry. Hats off to all the people who sacrificed their life. Great story telling Kautuk.
Heard it multiple times and it just gets sad and sad but his narration gave me goosebumps!
Just one word goosebumps i felt every moment great effort to convey emotional story with good storytelling
We know the story,
We have heard the story,
But hearing it from you again gave the same chills over again....
Legit shivers down my spine. Incredible stories and lovely story telling, thank you!
I cried uncontrollably listening to these stories.. 😞
YOU ARE A LEGEND TELLING LEGENDARY STORIES OF THE BRAVE🙌🙌🙌
Great narration!!!
multiple goosebumps... teary eyes...
This was brilliant. You just earned yourself a new subscriber!
Friggin goosebumps......😳😳😳

I was in Mumbai when this happened

you are an awesome storyteller!!
Speechless... #NeverForgotten

Oye kidhar hai naya video?
Spine chilling!

I vividly remember a short story called 'India's Heroes' from the time I was studying for my ICSE board exam in 2018. It touched briefly on all these stories in the narrative of a child giving a speech for his English class talking about who his heroes were. Watching this made me nostalgic and this series is hands down my favourite thing to watch on TH-cam right now :)
Yes
Same even there was no name of the author in that poem
Yesssss!!!!
Damnnn I was literally gonna comment about the exact same thing. I still remember Miss Rita Baruah.
Yes, major Unnikrishnan, Officer Kamte, a nurse that saved a baby in Nariman house, all these were part of that short story.
Cried watching this. I'm sure every Mumbaikar, regardless of age, remembers where they were on this day. Still gives me goosebumps when I pass across CST, The Taj, Gateway, Cama Hospital and Leopold Cafe. Every bit horrifying. Kautuk, the masterful storyteller, this one just had to be told. So thank you. May we never forget the courage and humanity displayed that day, facing pure evil in the face.
Thank God for martyr Tukaram Omble's bravery. Catching the rat Kasab alive was the single most important achievement in this horrific tragedy, which helped our intelligence identify the exact threats across the border, provide the international community undeniable proofs of Pakistan State's active sponsorship of terrorism as an instrument of proxy-war, and perhaps foiled many other attacks.
I couldn't stop weeping from the start of this story until the very end, hearing about the act of bravery by all the heros! They shall always be remembered!!
Just by the way you tell the stories, I could imagine the whole thing happening in front of my eyes.
It brought back the memories of that night. I am a Mumbaikar and was in 8th Std when this incident took place. I remember how we were glued to the TV the whole night anxiously watching the news. My father works at CST and he usually comes home late. I remember being so grateful that he made it back home before this whole incident began.
I was 4 years old when this happened .
my neighbor was crying since her husband worked near fort , but luckily he returned home safe .
I didn't understand what was happening . everyone was glued to the news . I just knew something bad happened. Even my school declared holiday's for the rest of the week and I wasn't allowed to go play with my friends .
26/11 truly shook Mumbai .
If it weren't for Mumbai Police , NSG , ATS,The Indian Army , the destruction caused by the terrorists would be unfathomable.
Mumbai shall always remember Tukaram Omble and others who were martyred protecting Mumbai
I had to pause multiple times to wipe my tears off. It's been 13 years but we remember all the 166 people who fell to terrorists' bullets at several locations in Mumbai.
That small shiver at 19:56 !!!! It just proves how emotionally invested he is in telling these stories. Bravo Kautuk!!!! Bravo!!!!
For some reason I avoided reading or watching these stories and tragedy happened to people. I didn't watch any show or movie regarding 26/11. I did bcuz I thought it will make me depressed and sad. While you were narrating this story...I did tear up. But It made me realise 26/11 wasn't just about tragedy but it was about immense bravery of our police army and people. Thank you Kautuk. ❤️May we never witness such tragedy again.
Kautuk narrating 26/11 stories > any documentary or movies made on 26/11
Take a bow kautuk, one of the best storytellers 🙏
I have genuine chills while listening this.
Can't ever forget the picture of Taj burning on newspaper those days. That picture left a very deep impression in my head, I still have very clear memory of that day. Great job Kautuk for getting the stories out in such a great manner.
Kautuk is an incredible storyteller. I could actually visualize the incidents as they were described.
Loved how succinctly you put forth the whole story. Your angst while saying some of them spoke to the media and the media broke the news.
You forgot the tragedy at nariman house where the media was live broadcasting where the NSGs planned to drop for attack. And that resulted in a massacre. 😶😞
TRPs were worth more than human lives and rescuing them. 😶
I have heard all these stories before and remember the 3 days we were under siege and what that felt like. But Kautuk you have such a gift for storytelling that I could literally see all this happening in front of my eyes. Keep going, please. And may we always remember these people, learn from their sacrifices, build a better system, and clean up our political act.
There were moments when I smiled, got teary eyed, had goosebumps and almost bit my nails. I had no idea storytelling could have such an impact. Glad to have discovered this.❤️
I liked how you didn't do your career promotions today. Respect.
Excellent Story telling ! Hats off to the chefs who saved so many lives !
This was the best second hand stories episode yet. Kautuk, thank you so much for this beautiful homage to all the heroes of 26/11.
I was in class tenth when this happened and I think till the day light no one was able to figure it out correctly. I remember one of Indore newspaper reported it like bombing. I lived in Mumbai from 2017 to 2020 I have gone there, from there, looking at the sea gave me goosebumps, I googled the images there. So that I can spot the places from outside. Then I saw people smile around and got slightest idea of how many people give out there everything to save a life and a smile.
This video is going to be in my whatsapp. Thanks Kautuk .
My fucking god.. what a powerful episode man. 😶 Couple with the great camera quality, the AMAZING storytelling and the tremendous gravity of these stories, this is easy one of the best episodes so far. Hats off sir!
I saw the episode in my YT feed on 26/11 and since I knew I would be busy for the next 2-3 days, I thought I wouldn't watch the episode until I was free cuz I want to enjoy every second of the SHS ...
And every day I was waiting for myself to get some peaceful free time so I could thoroughly enjoy this video
And today finally after 4 days of wait I could watch it
And boy oh boy the wait was 100% worth it ❤️
These stories are powerful on their own but Kautuk your story telling absolutely did justice to these amazing amazing stories 🙌🙌
This episode was very special and the very best too 💯💯
Please keep fascinating us with such brilliant stories and of course along with your mind-blowing story telling skills 🙌❤️
Ly Kautuk 💯
I had just come back to Kolkata for vacations and in a few hours, the news coverage began. My heart goes out to the affected, wherever they are now.
Incredible storytelling Kautuk... I was hooked till the last second of the video, in spite of having heard these stories before. Kudos to you!
The stories that matter the most, a very good narration Kautuk. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this and I truly feel proud how my fellow countrymen took this head on.
I was in Pune with my friends when I heard this news on tv and was feeling so helpless that we could not do anything for them but pray. True hero, each individual who was there at that moment helping each other.
Was a part of this while recording.. had goosebumps then and even now.. These stories need to be told and You did it the best 🙌 .. Best story teller on the Internet... Keep Going ❤️❤️
It's one of your best creation. Beautifully presented by you. Your show us the best thing to watch right now in youtube. All our support and respect to the bravehearts.
what a story. Thank you for telling this story... goosebumps. You are such a great storyteller.
The story of Goli just shows we have a ray of hope in the darkest of times... Thank you sharing this! 🦋
This is a scar which can never be forgotten.
Respect for you has increased even more in my eyes. Thank you for telling the untold stories. Hats off to the families of the martyred.
I was in Mumbai at that time. I have heard these stories before but this still gave me goosebumps and made me tear up at the end. What a storyteller you are!
A big thanks to all the brave human beings who showed immense courage in the face of such adversity. Too overwhelming to say anything else and nothing we say will ever match up to their bravery!!!
The way you narrate is incredible. It made me feel every moment. The pain of the people and their fear. It truly elevated admiration for the courage of their decisions and bravery of their actions. You are a great storyteller.
Can't believe how beautifully these stories of bravery were woven together. Great work bro.
Beautiful and illustrative narration, choked & sniffed but Valour of our heroes is so heartening.
I have shared this story with lot of my friends. Hope this video gets 1 million views
I was 8 when it all happened. Did not understand what was going on except bad guys are in taj..Never got to know these stories because its taboo to ask. I would like to thank you for letting me know the names of these heroes. I will try remember them let everyone know about them as long as possible
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 more than bravery I see humanity in these where many common ppl layed there life's for the guests without even once thinking about there life's or about there families
I was 8 years old, when this happened, but for me this all started at the morning of 27th, I, my father and my uncle were getting ready to go to my school and they to go out for work, we never turn on the TV in the morning, but I don't know why someone said "TV chalu kar toh" which means turn on the TV, my father asked "amna su aavtu hase" which program must be airing now, so news was started and then we saw everything. My father and uncle called their offices, my grandmother and I went down to catch my school bus, but everyone who came across us, said "vapas chale jau abhi school band hoga", go back the schools must be closed, I went back and slept.
I knew attacks had happened but I did not know the severity, my father went to office, in Bhiwandi, my uncle did not, his office was in Kalbadevi, near Marine Lines, for nearly a week I did not go to school. But whenever I hear this stories, I get goosebumps and that morning where we were getting ready comes to my mind.
goosebumps!!! those are incredible and heartwarming stories.
The narrative was so heart wrenching that i could not get past a couple of minutes. Kudos
Thank you for this. I was born and raised in Delhi so I don’t know what mumbaikars went thru. I hope the city stays strong as it always has.
Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
I remember when this horrific incident happened, I was 8 year old then, We (brothers and a sister) used to go to my cousin's home to watch TV.....then We saw that something happened in mumbai in Taj hotel in Mumbai...I vividly remember that it was featuring on Aajtak channel.
What a storytelling! I got goosebumps so many times although I've heard these stories before... !
Respect to all those brave people!
i was 4 when this happened. i remember hazy details of the TV running all night and the fear mongering round the city. RIP to all the soldiers, commandos, Taj Staff, CSMT personnel and every boday who martyred. This city will always be in debt to you for your bravery.
Oh god ... I have cried after every story !!!
This one is for soldiers, A grand Salute 🙏🏼❤️
Mai market me ghumte huye sunna start kiya, Aur rote rote mkt ghum rha tha, video stop karr ni paya.
Salute to all brave people's.
Thanks kautuk bhau, yeh stories inspire karti hai adverse condition me aage aa k logo ko help karne ki..
One guy who genuinely makes me want to like share subscribe every fucking time
I had tears in my eyes while listening to it. Kautuk you are effing amazing storyteller!
Guys share this in all your whatsapp groups
Already knew each and every detail but the way of storytelling is commendable
Please tell more of such incredible Indian stories. The relatability factor is too high and people would connect to it on different level if the stories are from their motherland. I was teary eyed all through the video.
Thank you for narrating these so beautifully. I listened to this whilst walking my dog with a lump in my throat throughout. Lest we forget, not only the sacrifices and bravery of the heroes but also the destruction caused by the insurgents. Thank you once again !
28 minutes and 3 seconds of goosebumps. Exceptional storytelling. Rest in Power, those who died saving us ❤
Our close family friends were in the taj mahal hotel, while there was shootings happening. Luckily no terrorists were near them.
Had tears while listening to this incredible story
Dude wow I can't even express myself to praise you. I became thick skinned after death of my cousin cause I cried a lot and wasn't able to express my sadness but dude I genuinely had tears especially when you started narrating major Sandeep unnikrishnan story
Salute to the heroes.this is the India I come from
This episode was awesome ✨💫 Loved the compilation of all the tales of bravery ❤️
When I say that I cried. It's always been a really disturbing fact to know that something as such had happened in my own city, I'd never known it from so up-close. Thank you so much kautuk for bringing us these stories, with the appropriate premise and respectful tone.
Tell more stories of attacks on different cities
i was a year and a half old when this took place
I remember watching this on TV. I felt so much anger and grief, I felt those listening to this. Salute to the martyrs! Thanks Kautuk!
Extra satisfaction points to the clock when watched in fast forward.
salute to the spirit of people of mumbai.
