What to Focus On

  • The national movement faced a vacuum after the suspension of Non-Cooperation.
  • Two different approaches emerged inside Congress.
  • Communal tensions and scattered revolutionary activities shaped the atmosphere.
  • Simon Commission was appointed in November 1927.
  • It had no Indian members and was therefore boycotted.
  • Congress decided to boycott it at Madras in 1927.
  • The Nehru Report was drafted after the Lucknow All-Parties Conference in August 1928.
  • Motilal Nehru headed the committee.
  • The report demanded Dominion Status, not complete independence.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Nehru Report demanded complete independence for India.

The Simon Commission was boycotted mainly because of its recommendations.
