Write short note on Rowlatt Act |
| Answer» The Rowlatt act was introduced to suppress any kind of political activities and detainment of people for up to two years over the suspicion of terrorist activities. The British Government decided to launch this act on Indians to suppress the feeling of nationalismThe Rowlatt Acts were much resented by an aroused Indian public. All nonofficial Indian members of the council (i.e., those who were not officials in the colonial government) voted against the acts. Mahatma Gandhi organized a protest movement that led directly to the Massacre of Amritsar (April 1919) and subsequently to his noncooperation movement (1920–22). The acts were never actually implemented. | |
