Tens of Thousands Protest Bush India Visit - Yahoo! News

NEW DELHI - Tens of thousands of Indians waving black and white flags and chanting "Death to Bush!" rallied Wednesday in New Delhi to protest a visit by
President Bush.

Surindra Singh Yadav, a senior police officer in charge of crowd control, said as many as 100,000 people, most of them Muslim, had gathered in a fairground in central New Delhi ordinarily used for political rallies.

"Whether Hindu or Muslim, the people of India have gathered here to show our anger. We have only one message — killer Bush go home," one of the speakers, Hindu politician Raj Babbar, told the crowd.

13. In India, "tens of thousands" wouldn't even be noticed.
Clearly, these protests involve "hundreds of thousands" - anything less would be swallowed up in the normal crowds.
