Answer
The Indians were discontent with the Simon Commission because of the following reasons-

- Moreover, Commission's recommendation that the Viceroy's Executive Council could not be made responsible to Central Legislature and the fatal blows inflicted on Lala Lajpat Rai filled the whole nation with great anger.
- The Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930 and the demand for Purna Swaraj owed much to this emotional trouble.
