Gandhi decide to launch a nationwide Satyagraha against the proposed Rowlatt Act 1919:

This Act had been hurriedly passed.

Indian members had unitedly opposed the Act.

It gave the government enormous powers.

In 1919, Gandhi decided to start a statewide satyagraha in opposition to the planned Rowlatt Act.

Mahatma Gandhi called for nonviolent civil disobedience beginning on April 6 with a hartal opposing such unjust laws.
