    Solution

    The Kohat riots in 1924 were significant anti-Hindu and anti-Sikh riots in British India, specifically in Kohat, now in Pakistan. These events led to widespread violence, prompting a mass exodus of Hindus and Sikhs from the region. Mahatma Gandhi later undertook a 21-day fast in October 1924 to promote Hindu-Muslim unity in response to these riots.
