Answer:

The Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919, popularly known as the Rowlatt ActOr Black Act, was a legislative council act passed by the Imperial Legislative Council in Delhi on 21 March 1920, indefinitely extending the emergency measures of preventive indefinite detention, incarceration without trial and judicial review enacted in the Defence of India Act 1915 during the First World War. It was enacted in light of a perceived threat from revolutionary nationalists to organisations of re-engaging in similar conspiracies as during the war which the Government felt the lapse of the DIRA regulations would enable.[1][2][3][4][5]

It was the Rowlatt Act which brought Gandhi to the mainstream of Indian struggle for independence and ushered in the Gandhi's Eraof Indian politics.

The British government passed the infamous Rowlatt Act which gave enormous powers to the police to arrest any person without any reason whatsoever. The purpose of the Act was to curb the growing nationalist upsurge in the country. Gandhi called upon the people to do Satyagraha against such oppressive "Act".

Passed on the recommendations of the Rowlatt Committee and named after its president, British judge Sir Sidney Rowlatt, this act effectively authorized the government to imprison any person suspected of terrorismliving in British India for up to two years without a trial, and gave the imperial authorities power to deal with all revolutionary activities.

The unpopular legislation provided for stricter control of the press, arrests without warrant, indefinite detention without trial, and juryless in camera trials for proscribed political acts. The accused were denied the right to know the accusers and the evidence used in the trial.[6] Those convicted were required to deposit securities upon release, and were prohibited from taking part in any political, educational, or religious activities.[6] On the report of the committee, headed by Justice Rowlatt, two bills were introduced in the central legislature in February 1919. These bills came to be known as "black bills". They gave enormous powers to the police to search a place and arrest any person they disapproved of without warrant. Despite much opposition, the Rowlatt Act was passed in March 1919. The purpose of the act was to curb the growing nationalist upsurge in the country.

Answer:

The Rowlatt Act of March 1919.

The Rowlatt act gave British officials the power to apprehend and imprison anyone without even giving them a chance to be tried and found guilty in a court of law.

This Act expanded the defense of India act's wartime provisions, including as indefinite imprisonment, juryless trials without charges, and severe media regulation.

Many nationalist leaders believed that this action was illegal, and in defiance of the Indian people's protests and voices, Gandhi Ji launched a countrywide satyagraha.

Explanation:

The Imperial Legislative Council in Delhi passed the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919, also known as the Rowlatt Act or Black Act, on March 21, 1920. This law extended the Defence of India Act of 1915's emergency provisions for preventive indefinite detention, imprisonment without trial, and judicial review indefinitely. The government believed that the lapse of the DIRA laws would allow revolutionary nationalists to engage in similar conspiracies to those that occurred during the war, thus it was created in response to this anticipated threat.

Gandhi's entry into the mainstream of the Indian independence movement and the beginning of the Gandhi era in Indian politics were both facilitated by the Rowlatt Act.

The terrible Rowlatt Act, approved by the British government, allowed the police the authority to detain anybody for any reason. The Act's main goal was to contain the nation's rising nationalist tide. Gandhi urged the populace to stage a Satyagraha in opposition to this tyrannical "Act".

This law, which was enacted based on the recommendations of the Rowlatt Committee and was given the name of the committee's president, British judge Sir Sidney Rowlatt, allowed the government to detain anyone living in British India who was suspected of terrorist activity for to two years without a trial and gave the imperial authorities the authority to deal with all revolutionary activities.

The controversial law allowed for tighter press restrictions, warrantless arrests, indefinite incarceration without charge, and juryless in-camera trials for illegal political activity. The right of the accused to know the accusers and the supporting evidence was denied. [6] Those found guilty had to put money in a bank upon release and were not allowed to engage in any political, educational, or religious activity. [6] In February 1919, two proposals were submitted to the federal assembly in response to the committee's findings, which were presided over by Justice Rowlatt. The term "black bills" was later applied to these notes. They granted the police tremendous authority to search a location and detain somebody they didn't like without a warrant.

In March 1919, the Rowlatt Act was approved over significant resistance. The act's main goal was to contain the nation's rising nationalist tide.
