Following a meeting and rally of the Muslim League to discuss Partition of India at the Ochterlony Monument conflict errupted between the muslims and the Hindus and Sikhss.
It was said that following the meeting, many Muslims started to loot Hindu shops in the area and later lorry loads or Muslims arrived armed with bats and firearms followed by lorry loads of Hindus and Sikhss.
Indian troops were brought in to patrol the city centre street but the rioting continues in the outskirts for up to a week.
On 17 August a Muslim mob went to the Kesoram Cotton Mills where over 300 workers were massacred.
On 21 August 5 battalions of British troops were brought in to quell the situation.
An estimated 4000 were killed although some figure state that the total was 10000.
