Detailed Solution

Gandhiji called for Satyagraha in 1919 in opposition to the Rowlatt Act. The Act increased police powers while restricting fundamental liberties, including the freedom of speech. Gandhiji and the Indian populace designated April 6, 1919, as a day of nonviolent protest against this Act. To start the movement, Satyagraha Sabhas were formed. Numerous demonstrations and hartals took place in the nation in April 1919, and the government repressed them brutally. The Rowlatt Satyagraha's participants ensured that Muslims and Hindus stood together in opposition to British rule. Mahatma Gandhi viewed India as a nation home to all its residents, including Muslims, Hindus, and people of other faiths.
