The people of India agitated against the arrival of Simon Commission because

The correct answer is (c) there was no Indian member in the Simon Commission. The Simon Commission, officially known as the Indian Statutory Commission, was sent to India in 1928 to report on the working of the Government of India Act 1919 and to suggest reforms. The most significant reason for the widespread protests was that the Commission did not include a single Indian member. This was seen as a blatant disregard for the principle of self-determination and a symbol of British colonial arrogance. Why other options are incorrect: (a) Indians never wanted the review of the working of the Act of 1919: This is incorrect. Indians *did* want a review, but they wanted Indians to be involved in the review process. (b) Simon Commission recommended the abolition of Dyarchy (Diarchy) in the Provinces: While the Commission *did* recommend abolishing Dyarchy, this wasn't the primary reason for the agitation. The lack of Indian representation was the core issue. (d) the Simon Commission suggested the partition of the country: The Simon Commission did not directly suggest the partition of the country. The idea of partition gained momentum later, particularly with the Muslim League's demands and the Government of India Act 1935.
