Answer
(a) The given picture shows Sir Stafford Cripps. To solve the constitutional problems, the British Government sent Sir Stafford Cripps to India. He arrived in India on 22 March 1942. He made the following proposals :
- After the war, India would be given the same status as the other Dominions like Canada and Australia.
- A Constituent Assembly would be set up after the war. This elected assembly would frame the Constitution of free India.
- It proposed that an 'Interim Government' would be formed during the war.
- Until the new Constitution was framed the government wanted Indian leaders to take effective part in the Viceroy's Executive Council.
- Only 'the defence of India' would remain under the control of the British Government.
(b) The Cripps Mission failed as the proposals disappointed both the Congress and the Muslim League. Gandhiji rejected it as 'a postdated cheque'. The Muslim League rejected it as it felt the prospects of achieving Pakistan were remote. It demanded 'a definite pronouncement in favour of Pakistan'.
(c) Two features of the Cripps Mission are given below:
- After the war, India would be given the same status as the other Dominions like Canada and Australia.
- A Constituent Assembly would be set up after the war. This elected assembly would frame the Constitution of free India.
