Demonstrators throw stones at a Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel during a protest in Jammu August 19, 2008. Thousands of Hindus were arrested and driven away to jails on Tuesday after they protested against the government's decision not to give forest land to a trust that runs Amarnath, a cave shrine visited by Hindu pilgrims. Waving Indian flags, thousands of women surrounded police stations in Jammu town and nearby areas, shouting pro-India slogans and offering to be arrested as a mark of protest. [Agencies]
