Answers
Answer:
The Indian Statutory Commission also known as Simon Commission, was a group of seven Members of Parliament under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon (later, 1st Viscount Simon). The commission arrived in British India in 1928 to study constitutional reform in Britain's largest and most important possession. One of its members was the future leader of the Labor Party Clement Attlee, who became committed to self-government for India.
At the time of introducing the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms in 1919, the British Government declared that a commission would be sent to India after ten years to examine the effects and operations of the constitutional reforms and to suggest more reforms for India.[1]
In November 1927, the British government appointed the Simon Commission to report on India's constitutional progress for introducing constitutional reforms, as promised. The Commission was strongly opposed by many Indians. It was opposed by Nehru, Gandhi, Jinnah, the Muslim League and Indian National Congress because it contained seven members of the British Parliament but no Indians. Indians saw it as a violation to their right of self determination and insult to their self respect. Except that, Muslims believed that their unity and alliance with the Hindus held more importance than any reforms or commissions that could be introduced by the British. The commission also denied the basic right to choose their own government therefore messing with the dignity and self respect. They were giving the status of petitioner and not participant. A petitioner didn't have any power and only got to express his or her opinion where as a participant had the power to make a change. However it was supported by B R Ambedkar and Periyar E. V. Ramasamy.[2]
