Answer
Sir Stafford Cripps brought the following proposals in order to negotiate an agreement with Indian leaders-
- After the War was over India would be given the same Status as the other Dominions had.
- Immediately after the War, Constituent Assembly would be set up. The Princely States would be free to choose whether to join the Indian union or to stay out.
- The British Government would accept the Constitution so framed subject to the condition that any Province or Provinces which did not accept the New Constitution could frame a Constitution of their own. They, singly or together, would be accorded the same status as the Indian Union had. Such a Proposal was sure to lead to a partition of India.
- The Constituent Assembly would conclude a Treaty with the British Government. This Treaty would cover "all matters arising out of the complete transfer of responsibility from British to Indian hands." Besides other matters, they would guarantee the protection of racial and religious minorities in India.
- Until the new constitution was framed, the government desired effective participation of Indian leaders in Viceroy's Executive Council. Only 'the defence of India' would remain under the control of the British government.
- Provisions would also be made for the protection of the racial and religious minorities.
