Wht was the reaction of people against the rowlatt act? How did colonial government supress reaction?

Answer»

Explanation:

The Rowlatt Act was passed in March 1919. This act authorised the Government to imprison any person WITHOUT TRIAL & convict him in a court.

The Rowlatt Act implied:

(i) Arrest of a person without warrant.

(II) In CAMERA trial (trial in seclusion)

(iii) Restrictions on movements of individuals.

(iv) Suspension of the RIGHT of Habeas Corpus.

The Act came like a sudden blow to the Indians who were expecting self-governance. Gandhiji appealed to the Viceroy to withhold his consent to such measures. However his appeal was ignored. He started 'Satyagraha' as a challenge to the government.
