Question

YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: Cripps Proposals. In 1942, the British Government sent the Cripps Mission to India to secure Indian support for Britain’s war effort during World War II. The Cripps Proposals offered India dominion status after the war and promised a constituent assembly to frame a new constitution, but these were largely seen as insufficient and vague. The Congress (led by Mahatma Gandhi) demanded immediate independence and rejected the Cripps Proposals. When the British government failed to provide clear and concrete plans for independence, Gandhi called for a mass movement of civil disobedience, demanding that the British “Quit India”. 118
