Why did the Indian National leaders reject the Cripps Mission?

• A. The mission rejected the demand for immediate independence.
• B. The mission gave Dominion Status to India.
• C. The mission formed an electoral body in India.
• D. It did not acknowledge India as a political equal.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The mission rejected the demand for immediate independence.

The Mission promised to take steps to form an elected body of Indians, who would be in charge of drafting the Indian Constitution after the Second World War ended. The main demand for immediate, complete independence was rejected. The Mission’s proposal was rejected by Gandhi, the Indian National Congress, the Sikh Community, and even the All India Muslim League.
