Explanation:
In 1919, Rowlatt Act was hurriedly passed by the Imperial Legislative Council.
The Act gave the government enormous powers to repress political activities and to arrest people and keep them in prisons without any trial if they are suspected with the charge of terrorism. The Act deprived the Indians of their civil rights.
Mahatma Gandhi was extremely agitated by the enactment of Rowlatt Act. He was extremely critical about the act and argued that everyone could not be punished for the isolated political crime.
The Act was ill-famed as "Black Act" by the people and Indians revolted in protest against the Rowlatt Act.
