what was the simon commission? why did the indian national congress opposed it.

Answer»

The Indian Statutory Commission was formed in 1927 to gauge the progress of constitutional reform in India. It consisted of seven members and was usually referred to as the Simon Seven or the Simon Commission. All seven members of the commission were also members of the British Parliament

It was opposed by national Congress because:1)It was an ‘all-white’ commission,that is to say,no representation of any Indian in the ‘Simon Seven’.Reasons being to avoid any ‘bias’ and ‘incompetency’.Naturally,protests started.

2)Secondly,at that time,Indians were all ‘charged-up’ and they wanted nothing less than complete freedom from the British yoke but Simon Comission again talked about ‘dominion-status’.So,ultimately,it was boycotted.
