Answer

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

  1. The seven members of the Simon Commission were all British.
  2. 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.
  3. The Civil Disobedience Movement of 1930 and the demand for Purna Swaraj owed much to this emotional trouble.
