1928 Simon Commission

The 1928 Simon Commission was a British initiative to review India’s governance and suggest reforms. It was established without any Indian representatives, which angered many Indians who wanted greater self-rule. The Commission’s arrival sparked widespread protests and opposition, as Indians felt excluded from decisions about their future. The protests led to the slogan “Simon Go Back,” highlighting opposition. Ultimately, the controversy prompted Indians to demand full independence and contributed to the shaping of India’s independence movement.
