Correct Answer : a) Simon Commission
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: a) Simon Commission
Explanation:
– In 1927, the British government appointed the Simon Commission to review the working of the Government of India Act, 1919.
– The commission had seven members, all British; no Indian was included.
– This exclusion outraged Indians across the political spectrum—Congress, sections of the Muslim League, and other groups—leading to nationwide protests with the slogan “Simon Go Back.”
– Thus, it accentuated discontent among all political groups and parties.
