Thousands of people took to the streets of Mumbai on Wednesday to demand that India's leaders do more to protect them from extremists, exactly a week after the deadly attacks on the city.Large, vocal crowds chanting "we want justice" gathered around the Gateway of India monument, opposite the Taj Mahal hotel that was one of the sites hit by militants.
At least 188 people were killed and more than 300 injured in a 60-hour stand-off between 10 heavily-armed Islamist extremists and security forces in what the media here have dubbed "India's 9/11".Protesters, some holding up placards saying "enough is enough", ranged in age from teenagers to people in their 70s.
Many were middle class residents who said it was the first time they had taken part in a public demonstration. See some photos of what they said......
