Solution
The correct option is C Control of Defence of India by the Indian National Government
In March 1942, a mission headed by Stafford Cripps was sent to India with constitutional proposals to seek Indian support for the war. The Mission declared that entire India was to be a Dominion and after the war its constitution was to be framed by an elected body which was to be accepted by the British Government. The Indian Provinces were given the right of secession from the Centre after 10 years. One of the reasons for ita failure was the provision that until the new constitution came into force, India’s defence would be controlled by the British and the powers of the Governor-General would remain unaltered.
