THE CRIPPS MISSION 1942
WHAT WAS IT?
-Winston Churchill appointed Sir Stafford Cripps, to lead a delegation in India in order to secure full Indian cooperation for the war effort.
-This meant that Britain would have to offer self-determination to India which was not like Churchill who opposed independence.
THE MISSION
-
-There was much optimism as Cripps was a Labour Party minister, a friend of Nehru and Gandhi and liked in congress circles.
-However, the Cripps mission was doomed as he did not offer what congress wanted to hear, but what was a bargain for british gov.
CRIPPS OFFER
-After the War, there would be a new constitution for India.
-In the meantime all Indian parties were invited to join an interim government of national unity which would operate until end of war.
