Simon Commission agitation

The Simon Commission was established in 1927 to review the working of the Government of India Act 1919. The primary reason for widespread agitation against it was that all members of the commission were British, with no Indian representation. This was seen as an affront to Indian dignity and nationalist aspirations - the commission was supposed to study India's constitutional needs, yet no Indian was deemed fit to be part of it. The agitation was united across political lines with the slogan 'Simon, Simon, Go Back.' The absence of Indian members was the key grievance. > Simon Commission = all British members = no Indian representation = massive agitation 'Simon Go Back'. Answer: (c).
