describe any three suppressive measures taken by the British administration to clampdown on nationalists
Answers
The British took a number of steps to curb the nationalists, such as -
1. In 1919, they passed the Rowlatt Act. It gave the power to the Government to repress political activities in India. The Act permitted the detention of political prisoners without trial for 2 years.
2. Whenever a mass movement was launched by the nationalists, the British imposed martial law. For instance, the satyagrahis were humiliated and flogged during the Rowlatt Satyagraha, Non-cooperation movement and the Civil Disobedience movement. The demonstrators were forced to crawl on the streets, rub their noses on the ground, and do salaam to all the sahibs. The British even bombed certain areas.
3. The nationalist leaders of the mass movements were arrested by the British and put behind the bars. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi, Abdul Ghaffar Khan and other leaders were arrested during the Civil Disobedience movement.
