Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. The Rowlatt Act (1919) allowed detention of political prisoners without trial for two years. It angered Indians and led Gandhiji to call a satyagraha against it. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre followed, in which General Dyer fired on a peaceful gathering, and this inflamed the nation.

    1 mark

  2. The Khilafat issue: Muslims were upset by the harsh treatment of the Ottoman Turkey Caliph after the First World War. Gandhiji saw a chance to unite Hindus and Muslims in a broader national movement.

    1 mark

  3. The Government of India Act 1919 gave inadequate reforms. The people's demand for Swaraj and the Congress sessions of 1920 (Calcutta and Nagpur) adopted non-cooperation.

    1 mark
