Drawbacks of Rowlatt satyagraha
- The Rowlatt Satyagraha was established by Gandhi on April 6, 1919. Rowlatt Satyagraha was established to oppose the Rowlatt Act but in a non-violent manner. The main aim of Rowlatt’s Satyagraha was to deal with the British government non-violently. Rowlatt satyagraha is just to oppose the Rowlatt Act and the British government without any kind of violence by Gandhi and other members.
- Gandhi intended the civil disobedience movement to be non-violent. He thus decided to put an end to the Rowlatt Satyagraha movement since it was causing a lot of bloodshed.
- This rowdy act was for both rural and urban people. That is why both urban and rural residents were having effects by the Rowlatt Act. However, the Rowlatt Satyagraha was only valid for people living in cities. People in rural areas are still suffering from the torture that was conducted by the British government.
- The British government continued to imprison people in rural areas without charges or trials. Even though the Rowlatt Satyagraha had been a well-recognized movement, it was still mostly confined to urban areas, not rural areas.
