Rowlatt Act

The Rowlatt Act was a law created by the British government in India back in 1919. This law allowed the British government to arrest and imprison people without a trial or a reason, which was not fair to the people of India. It made people feel scared and powerless because they could be punished without knowing why or what they did wrong.

It was kind of like being in school and the teacher giving you detention without telling you what you did wrong. You'd feel confused and upset because you didn't know how to fix the problem or learn from your mistake.

People in India didn't like the Rowlatt Act because it gave the British government too much power and took away their freedom. They wanted to speak out and protest against this unfair law, but they couldn't because they were afraid of being arrested.

In response, there were big protests and marches all over India, and eventually, the government had to take notice. A man named Mahatma Gandhi was one of the leaders of the movement and he used peaceful protests like hunger strikes to show that the people of India were not happy with the Rowlatt Act.

In the end, the Rowlatt Act was repealed, which means it was taken away. The people of India could breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they had won a small victory in their fight for freedom and justice.
