Consider the following:
1. Dominion Status to India after the war
2. A body of representatives to frame the future constitution of India
3. No Right to secede for the provinces
Which of the above recommendations was/were part(s) of Cripps Mission Proposal?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) 1 and 2 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Explanation Statement 1 is correct: The Cripps Mission proposed granting Dominion Status to India after the conclusion of World War II. This meant that India would have autonomy within the British Commonwealth but would still acknowledge the British Crown.
Statement 2 is correct: The Cripps Mission proposed the creation of a Constitution-making body to draft India's future constitution. The body would consist of members elected by the provincial legislatures and nominated by the princely states.
Statement 3 is not correct: The Cripps Mission explicitly allowed provinces the right to secede from the Indian Union if they did not agree with the new constitution. This provision was included to address the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan and was one of the controversial aspects of the proposal.
