Question

Why did the Indian political parties and the native states reject those proposals of the Cripps Mission?

Answer 1

The Indian political parties and native states rejected the Cripps Mission proposals for several reasons, which are:

1. The Congress opposed them because they did not grant immediate independence and allowed provinces to opt out of the Indian Union, threatening national unity.
2. The proposed constitution-making body was not fully elected, which Congress found undemocratic.
3. The Muslim League rejected the proposals because it did not recognise Pakistan’s demands. 
4. Some native states also opposed the idea of merging into a union where they might lose their autonomy.
