\nThe primary reason for the widespread agitation and boycott against the Simon Commission was the absence of any Indian member in the commission.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Indian Statutory Commission, popularly known as the Simon Commission, consisted of seven British Members of Parliament. Its purpose was to report on India’s constitutional progress and suggest reforms. Indian political parties, including the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League, vehemently opposed the commission because it had no Indian representatives. They viewed this as an insult to Indian self-respect and a denial of their right to determine their own constitution. The slogan “Simon Go Back” became popular during the protests.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe boycott of the Simon Commission led to widespread protests across India. The commission’s report, submitted in 1930, was subsequently discussed at the Round Table Conferences. The recommendations formed the basis for the Government of India Act 1935.
