Activists of Shiv Sena Hindustan, a politico-social group, burn an effigy of the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, N.K. Vohra, during a protest in New Delhi July 4, 2008. A scattered strike over the transfer of forest land to the Amarnath shrine trust turned violent in central India on Thursday, with four people killed and dozens injured in religious clashes, police said. They were protesting against the government of Jammu and Kashmir for reversing a decision to transfer forest land to the shrine trust in the Muslim-majority part of the state. The banners read: "For the protection of Hinduism, we will use weapons - Shiv Sena Hindustan" (L) and "Attack on religion, Hindus wake up - Shiv Sena Hindustan" (C). REUTERS/Tanushree Punwani (INDIA)
