In March 1942, the Cripps mission led by Stafford Cripps was dispatched to India with constitutional proposals in order to gain Indian support for the war effort. Stafford Cripps, the leader of the House of Commons and a member of the British War Cabinet, was a left-wing Labourite who actively supported the Indian national movement.
Background
- Japan pushed beyond the eastern borders of India, and the fall of Burma was a war jolt against the British.
- There was an imminent threat of the Japanese invasion of India and Indian support was crucial to the British war effort.
- The Viceroy Lord Linlithgow declared India a war party in the British Empire when the Second World War broke out in 1939. It was done without the consultation of the Indians and led to major congressional demonstrations.
- The party leaders, who ruled 7 provincial governments, resigned. It was celebrated as “Deliverance Day by the Muslim League.
- Britain was under pressure from the US and other allied leaders to implement its own colonial policies in India, as well as to gain Indian participation in the Allied war effort.
- This has also prompted the British Government to send Cripps to India.
