Consider the following statements comparing the Simon Commission (1927) and the Nehru Report (1928):
1. The Simon Commission was boycotted by Indian political parties primarily due to its all-Indian composition.
2. The Nehru Report proposed complete independence for India as its immediate objective.
Which of the above is/are correct?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (a) Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:
· Statement 1: Wrong — The Simon Commission (1927) was boycotted because it had no Indian members, not because it was all-Indian.
· Statement 2: Wrong — The Nehru Report (1928) demanded Dominion Status, not complete independence. The demand for Purna Swaraj (complete independence) came later in the Lahore Session of 1929 under Jawaharlal Nehru’s presidency.
Information Booster:
· Simon Commission (headed by Sir John Simon) was set up in 1927 to review the 1919 Act; Indians boycotted it with the slogan “Simon Go Back.”
· Nehru Report (drafted by Motilal Nehru and others) rejected separate electorates for minorities.
· The Jinnah’s 14 Points (1929) were in response to the Nehru Report.
· Lahore Session (1929) declared Purna Swaraj as the ultimate goal.
· Simon Commission report led to the Government of India Act, 1935.
