NDTV India

26/11 will go down in history as India's 9/11. But, if 9/11 raised fear and distrust among Americans, the terror attacks in Mumbai has created unprecedented solidarity amongst us. India is united in its gratitude for those who died trying to save lives in Mumbai. NDTV believes that music is the best way to pay tribute to those unsung heroes; music that touches the heart in ways that words never can. Shraddhanjali is a musical tribute to those unsung heroes - from the security personnel to the hotel staff to countless others who helped in anyway they could. Lata Mangeshkar, Sonu Nigam, Hariharan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shaan and Shilpa Rao pay their homage to the martyrs with their powerful songs on NDTV. Joining them on this show are John Abraham, Leander Paes, Dia Mirza and Rahul Bose, who salute the real heroes of India.

Join Vikram Chandra, on Shraddhanjali, to salute the heroes of 26/11 only on NDTV India.
