Gandhi's Rowlatt Act Opposition
Mahatma Gandhi called upon the Indian people to observe 6 April 1919 as a day of nationwide non-violent opposition.
This day of protest was specifically directed against the repressive measures introduced by the British government through the:
- Rowlatt Act
The Rowlatt Act, enacted in 1919, granted the authorities extensive powers to suppress political activities and detain individuals without trial. Gandhi termed it the 'Black Act'. The call for a national 'Hartal' (a strike and cessation of all activities) on this date signified widespread public discontent and resistance against the Act's infringement on civil liberties.
