Q. Who was the Viceroy of India when the Rowlatt Act was passed ?
(1) Lord Irwin
(2) Lord Reading
(3) Lord Chelmsford
(4) Lord Wavell
Ans. (3)
Exp. During the viceroyalty of Lord Chelmsford, a sedition committee was appointed by the government in 1918, with justice Rowlatt which made certain recommendations to curb seditious activities in India. The Rowlatt Act, 1919, gave unbridled power to the government to arrest and imprison suspects without trial. The act caused a wave of anger among all sections of the people. Even before the Act was passed, popular agitations had begun against it. Gandhiji decided to fight against this Act and he gave a call for Satyagra ha on April 6, 1919. He was arrested on April 8,1919. This led to further intensification of the agitation in Delhi, Ahmedabad and Punjab.
