Why is the Rowlatt Act called a continuation of wartime repression in peacetime?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because harsh powers like detention without trial continued even after the war
The governing concept is the persistence of emergency colonial powers beyond the emergency that supposedly justified them. Wartime regulations had allowed the government to restrict civil liberties and detain people without an ordinary trial. The Rowlatt Act extended similar powers after the First World War, even though peacetime had returned. Option A is correct because it identifies the continuation of detention and repression; the other options describe policies the Act did not provide.
