Q17 (IAS/2009) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947) › Constitutional plans and missions Answer Verified

Consider the following statements : The Cripps Proposals include the provision for 1. Full independence for India. 2. Creation of Constitution-making body. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Cripps proposals did not offer immediate full independence; instead they offered Dominion status after the war while reserving significant British control, so it fell short of outright sovereignty [1]. However, the plan explicitly provided for the creation of a constitution-making body to frame India’s future constitution after World War II, with participation from provinces and princely states as indicated in the draft [1]. Indian leaders therefore rejected the offer as inadequate because it postponed real transfer of power and kept key prerogatives with Britain, even though it did propose a constituent assembly-type mechanism for constitution-making [1].
