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.
