    The Simon Commission (1927) proposed several reforms for India's constitution and governance. The commission, comprised solely of British members, proposed a federal structure with more autonomy for provinces. It also suggested abolishing the diarchy system, expanding the franchise, and enlarging provincial assemblies. The Indian National Congress rejected the proposals and Gandhi launched a civil disobedience movement in response. The Muslim League neither accepted nor rejected the proposals for two reasons: 1) the Labour party had won elections in Britain and Simon was a Liberal, and 2) British had invited Indian leaders to a Round Table Conference in London.

     Muslim League neither accepted nor rejected owing to following reasons:


    i. Labour party had won the elections in Britain and Simon was from
    Liberals.
    ii. British had invited the Indian leaders to London for Round Table
    Conference. Invitation was given to all political parties of India by
    Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India.
