The 'Simon Commission' of 1927 was boycotted by Indian leaders primarily because:

  1. It proposed complete independence
  2. It recommended further devolution of powers
  3. It did not include any Indian members
  4. It was formed by the Labour Party

Answer:

Option C: It did not include any Indian members

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “It did not include any Indian members”.

The Simon Commission was boycotted because it was composed entirely of British members and excluded any Indian representation, which was seen as a denial of Indian participation in determining their own future.
