1924 Kohat riots

From MedBib.com - Medicine & Nature

The 1924 Kohat riots were major anti-Hindu riots that occurred in Kohat in NWFP, British India in 1924. In three days (September 9–11) of riots over 155 Hindus and Sikhs were killed. The entire population of Hindus and Sikhs living there had to flee for their lives. Gandhiji undertook 21 days fast for Hindu-Muslim unity in October 1924. Pir Shahen Shah came to the rescue of the people and made his influence felt. Calm prevailed after he went on a hunger strike to protest the killings.
