These started in November 1930 and ended in December 1932. They were conducted as per the recommendation of <a href="/facts/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah/CCxlj4CJ">Muhammad Ali Jinnah</a> to <a href="/facts/Viceroy_of_India/NEzPygom">Viceroy</a> <a href="/facts/Lord_Irwin/a5ILRBhL">Lord Irwin</a> and <a href="/facts/Prime_Minister_of_Great_Britain/Uf40UlBb">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/facts/Ramsay_MacDonald/or56AFU6">Ramsay MacDonald</a>, and by the report submitted by the <a href="/facts/Simon_Commission/pUE2VPI5">Simon Commission</a> in May 1930. Demands for <a href="/facts/Swaraj/PVzLeff3">Swaraj</a> or self-rule in India had been growing increasingly strong. <a href="/facts/B._R._Ambedkar/TH8yhMN8">B. R.
