The 2008 Global Financial Crisis
Lehman Brothers collapsed, global credit froze, and the Sensex fell from 21,000 to under 8,200 in 14 months — the deepest crash in modern Indian market history. FIIs pulled out ₹53,000 crore. Investors who fled locked in their losses; those who stayed saw one of the greatest recoveries ever.
