Question: What was the reaction of the people to the Rowlatt Act?

Answer: The Rowlatt Act was passed in the year 1919 much against the opposition of the Indian members. The Act empowered the British Government to suppress the political activities and detain the political prisoners for two years without any trial.

There was a stout reaction from the Indians.

1). Mahatma Gandhi launched the nationwide satyagraha.

2). Shops were closed.

3). Rallies were organised in many parts of the country.

4). Workers went on strike in railway workshops.

Thus, the Rowlatt Act called for a nationwide protest against the British Government.
