Women protesters hold sword and shout slogans during a protest in the Northern Indian city of Jammu, the winter capital of Kashmir on 21 August 2008. The crisis in Jammu began in June with a dispute over land near a Hindu shrine. Muslims held protests complaining that a state government plan to transfer 99 acres (40 hectares) land to a Hindu trust to build facilities for pilgrims near the shrine was actually a settlement plan meant to alter the religious balance in the region.
