Simon Commission Appointed

In 1927, the British government appointed the Indian Statutory Commission under Sir John Simon to review the working of the 1919 constitutional reforms. Because all seven members were British and no Indian served on the commission, its arrival in India in 1928 triggered widespread boycotts and the slogan 'Simon Go Back.'
