Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Mahatma Gandhi initiated the civil disobedience movement during the Great Depression in 1931. He sent a letter to Viceroy Irwin at the time to meet his demands. He started the Dandi March on March 12, 1930, with about 78 volunteers. The British appointed the Simon Commission in 1927. It was to investigate the functioning of India's constitutional system. The main purpose was to determine India's suitability for autonomy. This was considered an insult to the Indians' self-esteem as there were no Indian members on the committee. The leaders boycotted the committee and greeted them with a black flag and the slogan "Simon, come back."
