Nationalism in India
The Simon Commission
The Tory Government in Britain had constituted a Statutory Commission under Sir John Simon. Set up in response to the nationalist movement in India. The commission was to look into the functioning of the constitutional system in India and suggest changes. The problem was that the commission did not have a single Indian member. They were all British.
