Detailed Solution

The Rowlatt Act, passed by the Imperial Legislative Council, gave power to the government to repress political activities.
The Rowlatt Act of 1919 was one of the most prominent and unforgettable events in pre-independence India. It was articulated by Sir Sydney Rowlatt, an officer in the administration system of the British in India. The Act precisely stated to detain Indians on the radar of suspicion with a motive of protest, struggle, or unsettling the system. Moreover, they also could be treated as political prisoners and detained without trial for two years. Thus the Rowlatt Act empowered all British citizens to tackle Indians to avoid protest calls.
