Simon Commission Report Publication Year

The question asks for the specific year when the Simon Commission published its report. Understanding the timeline of the Simon Commission's activities is key to answering this question correctly.

About the Simon Commission

The Indian Statutory Commission, popularly known as the Simon Commission, was a group of seven Members of Parliament under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon. The Commission was appointed in November 1927 to report on the working of the constitutional system established in India by the Government of India Act 1919 and to suggest reforms.

Timeline and Report Publication

The Commission arrived in India in 1928. It conducted a thorough review of the existing constitutional framework and consulted various Indian political groups and leaders. After extensive deliberations and work, the Commission published its two-volume report in stages:

  • The first volume, containing the main recommendations, was published on 10 June 1930.
  • The second volume, dealing with specific provinces, was published later.

Therefore, the year the Simon Commission published its significant report is 1930.

Analysis of Options

  • 1927: This was the year the Commission was appointed, not when the report was published.
  • 1928: This was the year the Commission arrived in India, not the publication year of the report.
  • 1930: This is the correct year when the Commission's main report was published.
  • 1932: This year is related to later constitutional developments (like the Communal Award) but not the primary Simon Commission report publication.
  • None of the above: This is incorrect as 1930 is a provided option and the correct publication year.
