 There were two significant terrorist incidents in northern India in July 2005On July 5, suspected Islamic militants attacked a disputed religious site at Ayodhya in the state of Uttar Pradesh, resulting in the deaths of five persons,and on July 28, unidentified terrorists exploded a bomb on a train in Uttar Pradesh bound for New Delhi, killing thirteen passengers. In October 2004, over 35 people were killed in separate bombing incidents in a train station and market in Dimapur, capital of the Northeastern state of Nagaland.  In 2003, terrorists set off several bombs in Mumbai (Bombay), including on public transportation, at a public market and at the Gateway of India, a popular tourist destination, leaving over 50 people dead and 160 injured.U.S. citizens have been killed and injured during past acts of indiscriminate violence. Anti-Western terrorist groups, some of which are on the U.S. government's list of foreign terrorist organizations, are believed to be active in India. TU.S. citizens should exercise particular vigilance when in the vicinity of government installations, visiting tourist sites, or attending public events throughout India. In particular, the disputed region of Kashmir in the state of Jammu and Kashmir has experienced an inordinate number of terrorist incidents, including several bombings in the capital city of Srinagar. Demonstrations can occur spontaneously and pose risks to travelers' personal safety and disrupt transportation systems and city services.  In response to such events, Indian authorities occasionally impose curfews and/or restrict travel.Political rallies and demonstrations in India have the potential for violence, especially immediately preceding and following elections. religious and inter-caste violence occasionally occurs unpredictably.In early 2002, violent clashes between Hindus and Muslims in Gujarat resulted in at least 950 deaths according to official figures.While such violence rarely targets foreigners, mobs have attacked Indian Christian workers.
