THE SIMON
COMMISSION 1927
John Allsebrook Simon
Background
 According to the Montagu Chelmsford
reforms 1 919, after ten years, new
reformations were to be implemented. From
that perspective, the British government
started working on it before time. The
government decided to send a constitutional
commission to India, to evaluate the
political situation and propose a constitution
for India.
 On 8th November 1927, the government
announced the “Indian Statutory
Commission” which was a group of seven
Members of Parliament under the
chairmanship of Sir John Simon. That
commission is known as the Simon
Commission.
 All the members of that committee were
Britishers. There was no Indian member of
the commission. So, it was boycotted both
by the Congress and the Muslim League.
While Sir Muhammad Shafi cooperated with
it. At the time of the Simon Commission,
the Muslim League had already been
divided into two parts i.e. Jinnah League
and the Shafi League due to Delhi Muslim
Suggestions.
