A Hindu priest cycles past paramilitary troopers guarding a road in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya September 30, 2010. More than 200,000 police fanned out across India and temporary jails were set up as the government prepared for possible Hindu-Muslim riots over one of the most divisive court cases in the nation's history. The government has appealed for calm once a court in Uttar Pradesh state later on Thursday rules which religion owns the site of a 16th century mosque, a flashpoint that flared in 1992 and triggered some of India's worst riots that killed about 2,000 people.
