In pictures: Anti-Bush rallies in India

Tens of thousands of people across India have been protesting against US President George W Bush's visit.

In Delhi, some 50,000 protesters, many of them Muslims, took to the streets, denouncing Mr Bush as a "global terrorist".

In the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, demonstrators chanted "Bush Go Home!", burning US and European flags.

Many said they came to protest against Mr Bush's policies, especially the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In Hyderabad and other cities, rallies were organised by left-wing parties and workers' groups.

There were minor scuffles between protesters and riot police in the city of Calcutta.

Security has been raised around a hotel in Delhi, where Mr Bush was due to stay during his three-day visit.
