Question
How was the Rowlatt Act protested by the Indian nationalists? How did the British respond?
Solution
Indian nationalists including Mahatma Gandhi were vehement in their opposition to the Rowlatt bills. In Punjab, protests against this Act continued quite actively and on April 10 two leaders of the movement, Dr Satyapal and Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew were arrested. To protest these arrests, a public meeting was held on 13 April at Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.
