Q. Consider the following statements about’ the Cripps Mission of 1942.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The correct option is D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
Statement 1 and 2 is correct:
The Cripps mission was sent to India in March 1942 to ensure the active cooperation of the Indians in World War II. It was headed by Stafford Cripps, a Labor minister who had previously actively supported the Indian National Movement. Even though Cripps had announced that the aim of British policy in India was 'the early realization of self-government in India,' the Draft Declaration he had presented to him was disappointing. The declaration promised the status of India Dominion and a post-war constitutional body whose members would be elected by provincial assemblies and nominated by rulers in the case of princely states.
Statement 3 is correct: The Congress insisted that if it were to help the British defend India from the powers of the Axis, the Viceroy would first have to appoint an Indian as a Defense Member of its Executive Council.
