Rowlatt Act was passed in the year

Rowlatt Act was passed in the year
A1917
B1919
C192
D1923

correct answer is: 1919
Explanation: The Rowlatt Act, also known as the Black Act, was passed in 1919 by the British government during the tenure of Sir Sidney Arthur Taylor Rowlatt. It was a controversial law that allowed the British to imprison Indians without trial, leading to widespread protests and unrest. This act is notable for being a catalyst for the Non-Cooperation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.

  • OPTION a (1917): This is incorrect as the Rowlatt Act was passed two years later.
  • OPTION b (1919): This is correct as the Rowlatt Act was indeed passed in 1919.
  • OPTION c (192): This is incorrect and seems to be a typo, possibly intended to be 1920 or another year, but it is not the correct year.
  • OPTION d (1923): This is incorrect as the Rowlatt Act was passed four years earlier.
