Correct Answer:
B. 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
The correct answer is (b) 1 and 2 only.
Explanation:
The Rowlatt Act was indeed based on the recommendations of the 'Sedition Committee' or the Rowlatt Committee, headed by Sir Sidney Rowlatt. This committee was appointed by the British government to investigate revolutionary activities and advise on legal measures to curb them. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
During the Rowlatt Satyagraha, Gandhiji tried to utilize the Home Rule League to mobilize the people in protest against the Rowlatt Act, making statement 2 correct as well.
The demonstrations against the Simon Commission arrival did not coincide with the Rowlatt Satyagraha because the Rowlatt Satyagraha took place in 1919, whereas the Simon Commission came to India in 1927. So, statement 3 is incorrect.
Hence, the correct combination is statements 1 and 2 only, which corresponds to option (b).
