Question

The people of India agitated against the arrival of Simon Commission because

• A. Indians never wanted the review of the working of the Act of 1919
• B. Simon Commission recommended the abolition of Dyarchy (Diarchy) in the Provinces
• C. There was no Indian member in the Simon Commission
• D. (d) The Simon Commission suggested the partition of the country

Answer 1

The correct option is C There was no Indian member in the Simon Commission

In November 1927, the British government appointed the Simon Commission to report on India's constitutional progress for introducing constitutional reforms. But of the 7 members in the committee, no representation was given to the Indians. It was seen as a violation of Indian right of self determination and insult to their self respect.
