The Rowlatt Act was taught as negative in my high school history class, and the Patriot Act is very controversial. I'm not sure I like the direct comparison between the two: it doesn't sound impartial. Anyone agree?

What more did the Rowlatt acts do besides give authorities power to arrest people etc. Was there ever an abolition of the Rowlatt Acts?
