Question

Mention two recommendations of the Cabinet Mission.

Answer 1

1. Formation of a Constituent Assembly: The Cabinet Mission recommended the setting up of a Constituent Assembly to frame the Constitution of free India. The members were to be partly elected by the provincial assemblies and partly nominated by the princely states.
2. Grouping of Provinces: It proposed the division of British Indian provinces into three groups (A, B, and C), allowing each group to form its own constitution on subjects like religion, education, and culture, while a weak central government would control defense, foreign affairs, and communications.
