A Christian girl waits outside a makeshift classroom of a shelter at a church in the eastern Indian city of Cuttack October 8, 2008. At least 35 people have been killed in a string of religious attacks in Orissa state sparked by fears of forced conversion that have also sent more than 20,000 mainly poor, lower caste villagers into refugee camps and shelters.
