What was the Rowlett Act 1918? [4]

The Rowlett Act was a law implemented by the British government in colonial India in March 1919 in order to keep the troublemakers under control. The purpose of the Act was to deal with revolutionary activities. According to the Act, suspected people could be arrested without warrant and kept in prison without trial. They could be stopped from attending meetings and could be ordered to live in a particular place. This was a repressive measure that infuriated the political leadership and common Indians. Muhammad Ali Jinnah resigned from the Imperial Council in protest. In the Punjab the protest was very strong which led to the infamous Amritsar Massacre of 1919.
