How was rowlatt act an arbitrary …

The Britishers ruled over India for a long time. Their law was arbitrary. They used to introduce any law at any time which they deemed correct. But the fact was that the laws were applied to harass or humiliate Indians. For example, Rowlatt Act was passed which allowed the British government to imprison people without due trial. Britishers discriminated Indians on the basis of their colour and race. Different laws were made for Whites (Britishers) and Blacks(Indians). Indian nationalists began protesting and criticizing the arbitrary use of authority by the British. They asked for a greater share of Indians in the government. They taught for their identity and dignity. They asked British government to make same rules for both the Britishers and the Indians. Nationalists defied to obey their set of rules and openly broke laws which they meant not justified. They asked the Britishers to justice with the Indians by making rational laws.  

Arbitrary law is a law which has been passed by the legislator to fulfil his motives or simply out of his will. Rowlatt act was a classic example of arbitrary law which allowed the British government to imprison anybody without trial.
Some other examples of arbitrary law include:
a. Sedition laws which allows the police to arrest anybody it suspects of seditious speech
b. AFSPA ( Armed Forces Special Powers Act) which allows armed personnel to arrest anybody without specifying reason.
