HEY MY DEAR MATE UR ANS IS
In the year of 1919 the British government passed a law called the 'Rowlatt Act'. This law stated that British government could put any individual accused of any criminal activity in jail without a fair trial. The act also prevented the press from printing any form of news. This law allowed the government to arrest Indians without an arrest warrant. Indians were angered by this new law, and decided to protest. The people were angered by this new rule, and therefore began a 'hartal', in which a party of people don't do any work, and fast. Gandhi like many other congressional leaders did not accept this law, and protested in the 'hartal' with other people. A public meeting was held in Jallinanawalla Bhag on 13th April as a protest for two arrested leaders three days ago. The meeting started out as peaceful but then the Brigadier General Reginald arrived with his British Troops and asked them to fire at people unexpectedly. Within the course of ten minutes, more than ten thousand Indians were dead, and many were wounded.
