What is cripps mission?

The Cripps Mission, formally known as the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Cripps%20Mission">Cripps Mission</a>, was a British attempt in March 1942 to secure full Indian cooperation and support for the Allied war effort in World War II. Led by Sir Richard Stafford Cripps, a member of the British War Cabinet, the mission aimed to negotiate an agreement with Indian political leaders and the British government.

The main proposals offered included:

• Indian independence after the end of the war.
• The establishment of a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Constituent%20Assembly">Constituent Assembly</a> to frame a new constitution.
• The option for Indian provinces to secede from the post-war Indian Union.

However, the mission ultimately failed because the proposals were rejected by the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Indian%20National%20Congress">Indian National Congress</a>, primarily due to the lack of an immediate transfer of power and the right of provinces to secede, which threatened the unity of India. The <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Muslim%20League">Muslim League</a> also rejected the proposals, as they did not explicitly guarantee the creation of Pakistan.

The failure of the Cripps Mission led to increased unrest in India and ultimately contributed to the launch of the <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Quit%20India%20Movement">Quit India Movement</a> in August 1942.
