Detailed Solution

Indians opposed the Simon Commission because it did not include any Indian members. The government made it clear that it had no intention of granting the demand for Swaraj, and the commission lacked any Indian members. As a result, it provoked a wave of demonstrations nationwide, and Lala Lajpat Rai, leading the Congress and the Muslim League, called for a boycott. The ordinary Indian sought total freedom from British domination at this time. The demand for an independent India brought on resistance. The British's extreme actions against the opposition further fueled the fire. When the police lathi-charged the protesters in Lahore, where Lala Lajpat Rai was leading the demonstration, Lalaji was severely hurt, which finally caused his death. The loss of a beloved leader heightened the opposition to the commission and resulted in its total rejection.
