Q. Which among the following was the key objective of the Cripps mission? Answer:
To persuade Indian leaders to support British war efforts
Notes: The mission was sent to under the pressure from President Roosevelt of the USA and President Chiang Kai Shek of China.
The aim was to secure the active cooperation of Indians in war by promising some constitutional reform
The declaration promised India Dominion Status and a constitution making body after the war whose members would be elected by the provincial assemblies and nominated by the Princely States
The demand for separate Pakistan was accommodated by the clause that any province which do not accept the constitution has right to secede.
