Question

Advantages and disadvantages of the rowlatt act?????????¿¿¿¿¿

Answer 1

Rowlatt Acts, (February 1919), legislation passed by the Imperial Legislative Council, the legislature of British India. The acts allowed certain political cases to be tried without juries and permitted internment of suspects without trial. Their object was to replace the repressive provisions of the wartime Defence of India Act (1915) by a permanent law. They were based on the report of Justice S.A.T. Rowlatt’s committee of 1918.

Answer 2

Disadvantage to the indians:

It gave the Government enormous powers to repress political activities and allowed detention of political prisoners without trial for two years.
