    Question

    The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre took place in Amritsar in 1919, during which policy or act that allowed the British to arrest and imprison Indians without trial?

    A.

    Government of India Act

    B.

    Rowlatt Act

    C.

    Simon Commission

    D.

    Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms

    Correct option is B

    · The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre occurred on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, Punjab, as a result of widespread protests against the Rowlatt Act.
    · This act, officially known as the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919, allowed the British government to arrest and detain Indians without trial, restrict freedoms, and suppress nationalist movements.
    · The massacre was a brutal response to peaceful gatherings, where General Dyer ordered his troops to fire on unarmed civilians, killing hundreds.
    Additional Information:
    · Government of India Act Refers to a series of laws (e.g., 1919, 1935) for British administrative reforms, unrelated to this event.
    · Simon Commission Arrived in 1928 to review constitutional reforms, provoking protests due to the absence of Indian members.
    · Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms Introduced in 1919, focused on limited self-governance but did not cause the massacre.
