In pictures: India's scarred Christians


Introduction

This man is one of some 13,000 Christians still homeless after clashes with Hindus last month in the Indian state of Orissa.

The violence was triggered by the killing of a well known Hindu leader who was campaigning against people converting to Christianity. Orissa has a history of rivalry between Hindus and converts to Christianity.
