Simon Commission and Its Impact on India’s Independence Movement

Radical Movements and Political Unity Triggered by the Simon Commission (1927-1930)

The Simon Commission's appointment spurred radical movements advocating for independence and unity among Indian politicians. Its 1930 recommendations included provincial autonomy, retention of separate electorates, and changes in federalism, but proposed no universal franchise. The suggestions, such as provincial autonomy and separating certain regions, had limited immediate impact as political dynamics evolved rapidly. The Commission’s report became less relevant as newer developments shaped India's political landscape.
