Explanation
The Rowlatt Act was passed in 1919 during the period when Lord Chelmsford was serving as Viceroy of India. The MontaguâChelmsford reforms and the Government of India Act, 1919 (often associated with Montagu and Lord Chelmsford) place Chelmsford at the centre of Indian administration in this period, indicating his viceroyalty during the enactment of major 1919 measures [1]. Historical summaries of the MontaguâChelmsford period record that Lord Chelmsford served as Viceroy from 1916 to 1921, which covers 1919 when the Rowlatt Act was passed; thus Lord Chelmsford was the Viceroy at that time [2].
