Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) there was no Indian member in the Simon Commission
Nationalists boycotted and protested the 1928 Simon Commission because its seven members were all British; the exclusion of Indians from a body meant to decide India’s constitutional future was considered unacceptable. Thus the reason was that ‘there was no Indian member in the Simon Commission’ (option c). The other statements do not reflect the primary cause of the agitation.
