Question

What was that slogan which was raised against the Simon Commission in India?

Answer 1

Hint:
In 1927, the Simon Commission was formed to examine Constitutional Changes in the Constitution of India.
It consisted of seven members under the pretence of Sir John A. Simon and no members belonging to India. This led to anger and outrage among the masses who wanted the commission to return.

Complete answer:
Simon commission was formed for monitoring the working of monte-ford reforms of 1919.
In November 1927, the staff of the Commission and its terms of reference were announced.

It had 7 members who, under the presidency of Sir John Simon, were excluded from the three political parties of the British Parliament.

None of the Indians was named to the board, and a bubble seemed to be the promise of appeasing Indian sentiment. It was like refusing their right to participate in the constitutional determination of their own nation and right to participate in nation-building because no Indian was included in the commission

In January 1928, the Simon Commission left England. Almost immediately after its arrival on 4 February 1928 in Pondicherry, its representatives were greeted by crowds of demonstrators waving black flags and slogans of ‘Simon Go back’.

It proved to be a blessing as Congress now tries to draft a new constitution for Independent India as a response to Lord Birkenhead's challenge.

 It allowed young Congress leaders like Jawahar Lal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose to work from the front, helping them gain credibility and leadership skills and making them popular with the masses.

The Government of India Act 1935 was enacted on the advice of the Simon Commission, which in 1937 called for the responsible government at the provincial level and the first general election.

Note:
The Simon Commission acted as a spark for India's freedom struggle, with a focus on constitutional reforms and a foundation stone for democracy in India.
A resolution was passed at the annual session of the Congress in Madras in December 1927 proposing the boycott of the Simon Commission "at any stage and in any form."
Simon Go Back' slogan was invented by Yusuf Meherally, a lesser-known hero of India's struggle for independence.
