On world war 1, Britain Declared war to Germany they began bringing large amounts of Indian troops to serve in exchange they would allow the Indian National congress to have more representation on the british controlled government.

this deal was great it would give India more political freedom BUT Britain instead began placing and creating opressive laws in the british government of India.

These laws were made to prevent radical/ extreme political changes, By the end of the war the Indian people expected these rules to be taken down and for the Indian people to have more political freedom.

But on the early 1919 The Rowlatt Act is passed this act would extend the opressive laws.
