			==Background==
			Troubles erupted between Hindus and Muslims in the towns of [[Hatia]] and Ranchi in Bihar. Rioting had already occurred in the district in 1964, following anti-Hindu violence in [[East Pakistan]]. The Raghubar Dayal Commission of Inquiry established that communal tensions (regarding the organization of the Hindu [[Rama Navami\|Ram Navami festival]]) had been rising since April 1964. During the [[1967 Indian general election\|March 1967 general elections]], the situation further degenerated because of the debate over the [[Urdu]] issue. A proposal to declare Urdu the second [[official language]] of Bihar weakened the ruling coalition and led to state-wide, anti-Urdu agitation on the part of the [[Bharatiya Jana Sangh]], the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]], and an organization called the Bihar Hindi Sahitiya Sammelan.
			==Initial clashes==
			Trouble erupted in Ranchi on August 22 after the brick-batting of an anti-Urdu student procession near Muslim Azad High School. The school was attacked and one Hindu was killed in retaliation. The Raghubar Dayal Commission of Inquiry reported 184 deaths in Ranchi - among them 164 Muslims and 19 Hindus. Violence spread, leading to arson, looting, stabbings, and large-scale rioting in the city itself as well as in nearby industrial towns, particularly Hatia, where 26 people died (25 Muslims and 1 Hindu).{{cn\|date=August 2024}}
