The act was widely unpopular in India, and it helped to fuel the growing nationalist movement. The Rowlatt Act was one of the factors that led to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, in which British troops opened fire on a peaceful protest, killing hundreds of people. The act was repealed in 1922.

The rebellion was eventually suppressed by the British, but it left a lasting legacy in the Malabar region.
