Detailed explanation-1: -Rowlatt Act allowed certain political cases to be tried without juries and permitted imprisonment of suspects without trial. It was immediately followed by the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919. A large peaceful crowd had gathered at the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, Punjab, British India, to protest against the Rowlatt Act and arrest of pro-independence activists Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal.
Detailed explanation-3: -WHAT LED TO THE JALLIANWALA BAGH MASSACRE. The Rowlatt Act (Black Act) was passed on March 10, 1919, authorizing the government to imprison or confine, without a trial, any person associated with seditious activities. This led to nationwide unrest. Gandhi initiated Satyagraha to protest against the Rowlatt Act.
Detailed explanation-4: -All nonofficial Indian members of the council (i.e., those who were not officials in the colonial government) voted against the acts. Mahatma Gandhi organized a protest movement that led directly to the Massacre of Amritsar (April 1919) and subsequently to his noncooperation movement (1920–22).
Detailed explanation-5: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is the Rowlatt Act Enactment.
