In pictures: Anger in Gujarat

Hundreds of angry Hindus have rampaged through the western Indian city of Ahmedabad.

They torched and looted Muslim businesses in revenge for the deaths of 58 Hindu activists who were burned alive in an arson attack on a train as it passed through the town of Godhra on Wednesday.

The deaths of 58 people, including many women and children, sparked what one Ahmedabad Hindu described as "a volcano of anger"
