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. |
