X had been living in the Mumbai Chabad House and working for Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, caring for the Holtzbergs' son Moshe since his birth. The Holtzbergs were the Israel-born directors of the house run by the global Orthodox Jewish Chabad movement.
On November 26, 2008, as the Mumbai attacks began, a group of attackers entered the Chabad house and began shooting at everyone inside. X heard gunshots and locked herself in a laundry room but soon emerged from the room and ran upstairs hearing Rivka scream, there she found Gavriel and Rivka motionless and covered in blood with Moshe crying beside them, his pants drenched in blood. With the attackers still inside, X grabbed Moshe and ran from the building. Later, when Indian commandos stormed the house, it was confirmed that Gavriel and Rivka were among the 173 people killed in the attacks, and that Moshe was now an orphan.
The Chabad movement's leaders decided Moshe could not stay in India and that he would be relocated to Israel where he has family. However, the movement insisted that X be allowed to go with him, as X was the only one, the boy was responding to. Although X had no passport or papers, Moshe's grand uncle, Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, helped arrange for her to get a visa to come to Israel with Holtzberg to help him start his new life. The Israeli government under Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni granted X a special visa offering immigration status.
X was awarded permanent resident status and honorary Israeli citizenship on 13 September 2010.
Israel is considering conferring on her the title "Righteous among the Nations", the highest Israeli award that may be presented to non-Jews. X would be the first Indian to receive this award.

Monty Norman claims that Y was inspired by the "Good Sign Bad Sign" sung by Indian characters in A House for Mr Biswas, a musical he composed based on a novel by V.S. Naipaul set in the Indian community in Trinidad. Norman showed his manuscript music from A House for Mr Biswas in a filmed interview and sang its lyrics. In 2005, Norman released an album called Completing the Circle that features "Good Sign Bad Sign", the "Y," and a similar sounding song titled "________." For these songs Norman added lyrics that explain the origin and history of the "Y".
Hence courts have ruled twice that the theme was written by Norman despite claims and testimony by Z that he had actually written the theme. Norman has consequently won two libel actions against publishers for claiming that Z wrote the theme, most recently against The Sunday Times in 2001. However, it is generally acknowledged that Z came up with the arrangement used in ______.
