Pakistan is a paradigm example of a failed state that has undergone an extremely dangerous form of radical Islamisation.
Simon Commission
The Government of India Act of 1919 was essentially transitional in
character. Under Section 84 of the said Act, a statutory commission was to be
appointed at the end of ten years, to determine the next stage in the
realization of self-rule in India.
The British government appointed a commission under Sir John Simon in
November 1927. The commission, which had no Indian members, was being sent to
investigate India's constitutional problems and make recommendations to the
government on the future constitution of India. The Congress decided to boycott
the Simon Commission and challenged Lord Birkenhead, Secretary of State for
India, to produce a constitution acceptable to the various elements in India.
There was a clear split in the Muslim League. Sir Muhammad Shafi, who wanted
to cooperate with the commission, decided to convene a Muslim League session in
Lahore in December 1927.
The other faction led by Jinnah stood for the boycott of the commission. This
faction held a Muslim League session at Calcutta, and decided to form a
subcommittee to confer with the working committee of the Indian National
Congress and other organizations, with a view to draft a constitution for India.
