26-28, 2008 - three days that took India-Pakistan ties from a high note of hope to a crashing low. One year on, after seven dossiers given by India linking Pakistani militants to the Mumbai terror strike, reminders about bringing the attackers to justice and two meetings between leaders of the two countries, the dialogue process remains in deep freeze.
Hours before terrorists struck Mumbai on the night of Nov 26 -- to begin a 60-hour terror siege that killed 166 people -- Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi were posing before photographers in New Delhi and declaring their conviction that the peace process was irreversible.
A little while later, 10 Pakistani terrorists blew away that feel-good picture of bonhomie and subcontinental camaraderie.
The chill set in deep in the weeks that followed with the Pakistani spin machinery accusing India of troops build-up and New Delhi denying the charges.

- - this refers to the period after the explosion organised by Pakistani terrorists.
- In short, India and Pakistan found themselves on hostile terms again after the terrorist act, and this chill in their relations seems hard to overcome (because is set deep ).
