What relationship can be understood between the Rowlatt Act and the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Rowlatt repression increased public discontent and prepared ground for a wider movement
The Rowlatt Act of 1919 allowed the colonial government to repress political activity and detain people without a normal trial. Its passage provoked widespread protest, while the violent repression of opposition deepened public anger and distrust of British rule. This atmosphere helped create conditions for broader mobilisation, including Non-Cooperation. Therefore option A is correct; the Act did not legally support swaraj or abolish Congress.
