CRIPPS MISSION 1942 ( O Level Pakistan studies)
Q: Why was the Cripps
Mission felt to be unsatisfactory?
Answer: Cripps Mission came
to India in1942 .Cripps mission was felt unsatisfactory because both the
Congress and Muslim League did not accept its proposals .The Mission came for
British purposes, as during World War II they were in a difficult position. Congress
leaders were pressing the British for the immediate transfer of power and self
rule in India while Muslim league rejected it because there was no assurance of
proper Muslim representation in the government, nor even anything about Pakistan.
The proposals of Cripps
mission were rejected because the transfer of power was promised ten years
after the war while Indians wanted immediate transfer of power. Congress
strongly objected to the proposals that all provinces could not be given the
equal power to opt or leave Indian Union while the Muslim League rejected it
because they wanted a separate homeland. There was no surety of Muslim representation
in the government; even the Independence of Pakistan was totally neglected. So
Muslim League and Congress both rejected the Cripps Mission.
Rejection of Cripps Mission was a clear
proof that Muslims and Hindus were not going to believe on British promises
about giving Independence after ten years. The arrival of this mission opened
up further discussions about the Indian demands related to their political rights.
Law and order situation was deteriorated. More processions were on the roads
against the British government. At some points, political situation was out of hands.
Indians had hopes of independence from British government so they rejected
their proposal in 1942.
