Here is your answer buddy,

Simon Commission was a commission consisting of seven people who were asked to do a study on the reforms necessary to be made in the largest and the most important colony of the British. And its called Simon commission as it was headed by a person known as JOHN SIMON. It was sent to INDIA in 1928.

Almost immediately with its arrival in Bombay on 3 February 1928, the Simon Commission was confronted by throngs of protesters. A strike began and many people turned out to greet the Commission with black flags. Similar protests occurred in every major Indian city that the seven British MP’s visited.

One protest against the Simon Commission became infamous. On 30 October 1928, the Commission arrived in Lahore where it was met by protesters waving black flags.

The protest was led by Indian nationalist Lala Lajpat Rai, who had moved a resolution against the Commission in the Legislative Assembly of Punjab in February 1928. In order to make way for the Commission, the local police force began beating protestor’s with their sticks. The police were particularly brutal towards Lala Lajpat Rai, who died later on 17 November 1928.

His death was widely believed to have been caused by the mental trauma of the beating.

This is the most important impact and other being the reports of this commission is one of the reason, of rise in tension between the Indian on the basis of religion. As the report mentioned that it is advice-able to retain the communal electorates till the tension is brought down,but it was never brought down and as a result the of which GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ACT 1935 came into effect.
