The Rowlatt Acts were a series of legislative acts passed by the Imperial Legislative Council in British India in March 1919. These acts, officially known as the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act, aimed to curb growing nationalist movements in India following World War I. They granted the police extensive powers to arrest and detain individuals without trial for suspected revolutionary activities. The Rowlatt Acts were widely opposed by Indian leaders and the public, who viewed them as oppressive and a denial of fundamental civil liberties. This widespread opposition led to significant protests, including Mahatma Gandhi's first nationwide satyagraha.

The Moplah Rebellion of 1921 in the Malabar region of present-day Kerala was a significant uprising by the Muslim Mappila (Moplah) community, who were largely tenant farmers. The rebellion was fueled by grievances against the oppressive tenancy system under upper-caste Hindu landlords (Jenmis) and the perceived support these landlords received from the British colonial administration. Anti-colonial sentiment and the influence of the Khilafat Movement also played a crucial role in the uprising. While initially focused on agrarian issues and British authority, the rebellion unfortunately took a communal turn in some areas.
