Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) It recommended the replacement of diarchy with responsible government in the provinces
The Simon Commission Report (1930) recommended that diarchy in the provinces be abolished and replaced by full-fledged responsible government with ministers answerable to provincial legislatures. It did not emphasise an inter-provincial council, abolition of bicameralism, or differential pay for an Indian Police Service, so options (b), (c) and (d) are wrong.
