# Why Did Indian Political Groups Oppose the Simon Commission?

I’m reading about the Simon Commission and keep seeing it described as a turning point in the independence movement. Since the commission was sent to review constitutional reforms in British India, what made its arrival provoke such widespread opposition?

Was the objection mainly that it had no Indian members, or did different political groups oppose it for different reasons? I’d like to understand how the protest fit into the broader debate over who should shape India’s future government.
