Summary: In this episode we look at the fiasco that was the Simon Commission. This attempt to review Indian government was a failure, but it set the foundation for India's eventual independence. It also perhaps helped make the Indian National Congress the political phenomenon it is today. Also I suggest that the Simon Commission was possibly less horrible than people think it was.
