The Simon Commission was a group of seven British officials, led by Sir John Simon, that arrived in India in 1928 to review the Government of India Act of 1919. The commission aimed to assess the political situation and recommend reforms. However, it faced widespread opposition because it included no Indian members, leading to protests across the country. In response to the commission's arrival, Indian leaders organized demonstrations, demanding greater self-governance. The protests highlighted the growing discontent with British rule and the desire for Indian representation in political matters. The commission's findings ultimately contributed to the discussions that led to the Government of India Act 1935.
