The constitutional concessions granted to Indians by the British government in 1919 failed to satisfy them.The Act of 1919 did not satisfy the demands of the Indians. The Indian national leaders had been continuously demanding, since 1919, the introduction of further constitutional reforms.But, it was made clear by the government that they will not introduce any further constitutional reforms up to the next 10 years.By the time, Simon Commission was formed already 8 years had elapsed out of the time-span of 10 years determined by the British government.
No Indian was included in the Commission as a member. This was considered to be a direct insult to the Indians.In fact, exclusion of the Indian members in a Commission that concerned Indians alone was viewed as an insult to the self-respect of the Indian people.Simon Commission was opposed by all the shades of the Indian Public Opinion and thus it was provided a common meeting ground for different political parties.All India Hartals were observed on the day of landing of Commission in India.
