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

1. The Simon Commission, officially the Indian Statutory Commission, was appointed by the British government in 1927 to review the constitutional reforms introduced by the Government of India Act of 1919 and suggest further reforms. 2. The main reason for the widespread agitation by the people of India against the arrival of the Simon Commission was its composition. 3. The Commission consisted of seven British members of Parliament under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon, but it included *no Indian member*. 4. This exclusion was seen as a grave insult to Indians, denying them the right to participate in determining their own constitutional future. It was perceived as a violation of the principle of self-determination and deeply resented across the political spectrum in India. 5. Option (A) is incorrect; while Indians had criticisms of the Act of 1919, the main objection was the composition of the review body, not the review itself. 6. Option (B) is partially true (the Commission did recommend abolishing Dyarchy), but this recommendation came later and was not the reason for the initial agitation. 7. Option (D) is incorrect; the Simon Commission did not suggest the partition of the country.
