To determine the correct statements regarding the Rowlatt Act of 1919, we evaluate each statement:
- Statement I: "Gandhiji launched a nationwide Satyagraha against the proposed Rowlatt Act, 1919."
This statement is correct. Mahatma Gandhi did indeed initiate a nationwide Satyagraha movement as a response to the Rowlatt Act, which was considered oppressive and unjust by many Indian leaders. His involvement brought significant national attention and resistance to the Act.
- Statement II: "The Act had been hurriedly passed through the Imperial Legislative Council despite the opposition of Indian members."
This statement is also correct. The Rowlatt Act was passed by the Imperial Legislative Council amid strong opposition from the Indian members. The Act allowed the colonial government to suppress activities against them without any trial by a jury.
- Statement III: "The Act gave the Government enormous powers to repress political activities."
This statement is correct. The Rowlatt Act granted extensive powers to the British government, including arrest without warrant, detention without trial, and dealing with press with severe restrictions, to curb political dissent and movements.
Given the evaluation of each statement, we can conclude that:
- All three statements I, II, and III are correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is: I, II and III.
