2008 hasn't been a good year for India not just because of the Mumbai attacks but also because several other cities in
India were bombed in the same year including Delhi and Bangalore.

Apart from the above terrrorist activities, India saw huge amoount of violence in the state of J&K (regional violence), Mumbai (some stupid politicians), Gurgaon & delhi (social unrest).
On top of it the recession. 2008 took a toll on the common man.
So it really hasn't been a good year.
But India got some good news too in this year --
* India emerged as the Cricketing world's new Superpower beating Australia and England.
* After a huge gap, Miss India was amongst the 3 finalists of Miss world crown.
* India reached out to Moon -- the Chandrayan mission
* India won 3 medals in the 2008 Olympics
There is more but the memories of evil overpower our minds. Still I want, when i look back at 2008 I want to recall all the unforgettable memories of the year.
Quite true....
for few..its unforgettable and for few totally forgettable!
Just to shed light on few important events(apart from those you already mentioned)-
Crude oil prices went mountain height and made world economy(including INDIA) go turtle and then by dipping to sea level served as a catalyst to regain the momentum.
Indian Cricket team saw Two legends taking sanyas making way for youngsters to take the charge.
Delhi saw hat trick by electing Congress(Sheila Dikshit) back into power.
and most Importantly...SUMIT threw away his bachelorhood.
