"Pakistan uses money from everyone, America included, to attack India," Keluskar said. "I do feel very hurt. I feel that America should be diligent in [protecting] the end use of that money."
A cross-section from the Mumbai community -- businessmen, young college women, elementary school-aged children -- came together for the first major protest after the attack.
"What is happening right now is not a peace rally, " said Gargy Sarkar, 19, a student in mass media at a local university. "There is a lot of shouting and a lot of anger. We can't stand what is happening."
Since the attacks here one week ago, most of the anger has been directed at the politicians for not protecting them.
The anger is justified, said Milind Deora, MP from the Congress Party who represents South Bombay. He said that the politicians did not show the leadership that was needed after the attacks, leadership that was shown after Sept. 11 by New York City Mayor Rudy Giuiliani.
Their simmering anger at Pakistan was also evident as thousands of people were chanting "Down with Pakistan!" in Hindi.
