The 1919 Rowlatt Act drew directly from the recommendations of the 1917 ‘Sedition Committee’ chaired by Sir Sidney Rowlatt ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowlatt_Committee?utm_source=openai)). To organise opposition, Gandhi tapped the existing networks of Annie Besant’s and Tilak’s Home Rule Leagues ([1library.net](https://1library.net/article/rowlatt-satyagraha-sumit-sarkar-modern-india.zpk8l67y?utm_source=openai)). Simon Commission protests began only in 1928, nearly a decade later, so they did not coincide with the Rowlatt Satyagraha, making statement 3 wrong ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Commission?utm_source=openai)).
