PressTV - Indians greet Obama with protests: "Peace activists in different states of India have staged massive protests against US President Barack Obama's visit to the country.
The protests come as the US president has embarked on a three-day visit to boost business with India.
In reaction to the visit, victims of a toxic tragedy in the city of Bhopal held a sit-in, demanding compensation for the fatal incident.
More than 500,000 people were exposed to toxic gas after 40 tons of deadly chemical leaked at the Indian subsidiary of the US Corporation Union Carbide on December 3, 1984.
Around 5,000 people died in the immediate aftermath, and some 15,000 more died in the weeks that followed."
