Solution 1
All the political parties, including the Congress and Muslim League, decided to boycott the Commission because it was an all-white Commission with no Indians associated with it. The Simon Commission was received with black flags, mass demonstrations, hartals and slogans of ‘Simon Go Back’ all over the country.
Solution 2
Sir John's Commission consisted of seven British members of Parliament and no Indian members. This outraged the Indians, who perceived it as an affront to their respect. As a result, it was met with black flags and widespread protests. Wherever the commission went, people chanted 'Simon Go Back'.
