Explore the dark chapters of colonial India with our latest video, delving into the Rowlatt Act and the harrowing events of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In the aftermath of World War I, British India seethed with dissent, culminating in the passage of the Rowlatt Act of 1919. This legislation granted the British government unprecedented powers to suppress opposition, sparking nationwide protests and the launch of Mahatma Gandhi's Satyagraha movement.

Our video delves into the causes, impact, and legacy of these tragic events, shedding light on the resilience of those who fought for freedom against overwhelming odds.
