assistance in WWII</div> <p>The <b>Cripps Mission</b> was a failed attempt in late March 1942 by the <a href="/wiki/British_government" class="mw-redirect" title="British government">British government</a> to secure full Indian cooperation and support for their efforts in <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. The mission was headed by a senior minister <a href="/wiki/Stafford_Cripps" title="Stafford Cripps">Stafford Cripps</a>. Cripps belonged to the left-wing <a href="/wiki/British_Labour_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="British Labour Party">Labour Party</a>, which was traditionally sympathetic to Indian self-rule, but he was also a member of the coalition War Cabinet led by British Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a>, who had long been the leader of the movement to block Indian independence. </p><p>Cripps was sent to negotiate an agreement with the nationalist <a href="/wiki/Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">Congress</a> leaders (including <a href="/wiki/Gandhi" class="mw-redirect" title="Gandhi">Gandhi</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_Jinnah" title="Muhammad Ali Jinnah">Muhammad Ali Jinnah</a> and the <a href="/wiki/All-India_Muslim_League" title="All-India Muslim League">Muslim League</a>, who was the representative of the Muslim population of the subcontinent. Cripps worked to keep India loyal to the British war effort in exchange for a promise of elections and full self-government (<a href="/wiki/Dominion_status" class="mw-redirect" title="Dominion status">Dominion status</a>) once the war was over. Cripps discussed the proposals, which he had drafted himself with the Indian leaders, and published them. The Congress rejected his proposals and knew that the British were negotiating from a weaker position. </p><p>In August 1942, the Congress working committee, taking advantage of the government's weakness, made a call that unless the 'Quit India' call was conceded, the Congress would resort to civil disobedience and call the people to resist and violate government authority. In reaction, British imprisoned practically the entire Congress leadership for the duration of the war. Jinnah, to whom Cripps had offered the right to opt out of a future union with India, supported the war effort with his fellow Muslims and gained in status in British eyes.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Jinnah was “surprised” to see that the right to opt out of a future union was undertaken.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cripps_Mission&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/India_in_World_War_II" title="India in World War II">India in World War II</a></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_1935" title="Government of India Act 1935">Government of India Act 1935</a>, building on the <a href="/wiki/Round_Table_Conferences" class="mw-redirect" title="Round Table Conferences">Round Table Conferences</a>, <a href="/wiki/Simon_Commission" title="Simon Commission">Simon Commission</a> and the previous <a href="/wiki/Government_of_India_Act_of_1919" class="mw-redirect" title="Government of India Act of 1919">Government of India Act of 1919</a>, required the establishment of an All-India Federation, which would allow Indians to take a larger share of governance at the highest level. However, deep differences between the princely states and the Congress, as well as between the Muslim League and Congress, had delayed progress. Instead, only the provincial portion of the Act was carried out. </p><p>After Britain's declaration of war on Germany in September 1939, Viceroy <a href="/wiki/Victor_Hope,_2nd_Marquess_of_Linlithgow" title="Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow">Linlithgow</a> responded by declaring India a belligerent state on the side of Britain without consulting Indian political leaders or the elected provincial representatives, sharply underlining the failure of progress to self-rule.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> That caused considerable resentment in the <a href="/wiki/Indian_National_Congress" title="Indian National Congress">Congress Party</a>, producing demands for an immediate transfer of power. The resulting standoff led to the en masse resignation of Congress Provincial Governments, giving rise to the prospect of public revolt and political disorder in India. The <a href="/wiki/All-India_Muslim_League" title="All-India Muslim League">All India Muslim League</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Hindu_Mahasabha" title="Hindu Mahasabha">Hindu Mahasabha</a> and regional parties gave their support to Britain and the war effort in exchange for various concessions. Negotiations continued between the Viceroy, Congress and Muslim League, but their failure led to a political stalemate. </p><p>The Japanese declaration of war on the Dutch and the British Empires as well as the United States in December 1941 altered the political situation. Confidence in Britain was particularly low after the <a href="/wiki/Fall_of_Singapore" title="Fall of Singapore">fall of Singapore</a> on 15 February 1942, Britain's greatest single defeat in the war, as well as the <a href="/wiki/Japanese_conquest_of_Burma" class="mw-redirect" title="Japanese conquest of Burma">retreat from Rangoon</a>, with large numbers of <a href="/wiki/British_Indian_Army_during_World_War_II" class="mw-redirect" title="British Indian Army during World War II">Indian Army</a> troops captured. The threat of an invasion of India was real, and there was anxiety about 'fifth columnists', particularly Congress radicals working with Japan. </p><p>The British War Cabinet, a coalition government of national unity, was divided on the question of compromise with the Congress. The Labour Party ministers and moderate Conservatives were keen to advance Indian progress to self-government in a way that would not endanger the war effort. Churchill was deeply opposed to any dismantling of the British Empire and regarded its non-white subjects as incapable of self-rule. In fact, the stridency of his views and his opposition to the Conservative leader <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Baldwin" title="Stanley Baldwin">Stanley Baldwin</a>'s agreement to work with parties such as the Indian National Congress towards self-rule had contributed to his isolation within the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK)" title="Conservative Party (UK)">Conservative Party</a> for a decade. He was supported in his views by the Conservative <a href="/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_India" title="Secretary of State for India">Secretary of State for India</a>, <a href="/wiki/Leo_Amery" title="Leo Amery">Leo Amery</a>. </p><p>However, the United States, Britain's principal ally, saw things in even more urgent terms. The chief American strategic objective was aiding <a href="/wiki/Chiang_Kai_Shek" class="mw-redirect" title="Chiang Kai Shek">Chiang Kai Shek</a>'s physically isolated <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_China" class="mw-redirect" title="Republic of China">Nationalist China</a> against the expanding <a href="/wiki/Japanese_Empire" class="mw-redirect" title="Japanese Empire">Japanese Empire</a>. The Japanese <a href="/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War" title="Second Sino-Japanese War">conquest of China's coastal areas</a> meant that the Americans needed India to serve as a major logistical hub to funnel aid to China and needed Indian military manpower to secure routes for supplies through <a href="/wiki/Burma" class="mw-redirect" title="Burma">Burma</a>. American and Chinese leadership was convinced that would not be possible without the full support of a mobilised Indian population, which required a breakthrough with the Indian National Congress. In addition, the <a href="/wiki/Franklin_Roosevelt_administration" class="mw-redirect" title="Franklin Roosevelt administration">Franklin Roosevelt administration</a> was busy formulating its vision for the post-war world order and saw the <a href="/wiki/Decolonisation_of_Asia" title="Decolonisation of Asia">decolonisation of Asia</a> as a matter of US national interest for both ideological and commercial reasons. </p><p>Despite the conflicts of interests, Britain's reliance on the United States for <a href="/wiki/Lend-Lease" title="Lend-Lease">Lend-Lease</a> supplies for the war effort meant that US President <a href="/wiki/Franklin_Roosevelt" class="mw-redirect" title="Franklin Roosevelt">Franklin Roosevelt</a>'s pressure had to at least appear to be taken seriously, especially in light of the military disasters in South East Asia. As a result, the British cabinet by 9 March 1942 had agreed to despatch a mission to India to discuss its offer, and Cripps' plane landed in Delhi on 22 March. By then, the British were willing to grant Indian independence at the conclusion of the war.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Incidentally, the next day was the second anniversary of the Lahore Resolution of 1940 and so Cripps saw Muslims marching in the streets with green flags.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Cripps stated that while he had been closer to the Congress, he was open to other perspectives.

Angry over the decision made by the Viceroy, some Congress leaders favoured launching a revolt against the British despite the gravity of the war in Europe, which threatened Britain's own freedom. Others, such as <a href="/wiki/Chakravarti_Rajagopalachari" class="mw-redirect" title="Chakravarti Rajagopalachari">Chakravarti Rajagopalachari</a>, advocated offering an olive branch to the British and supporting them in that crucial time in the hope that the gesture would be reciprocated with independence after the war.

On 4 April, in his presidential address to the Muslim League, Jinnah pointed out that Cripps proposals were only a draft declaration. He also said that creation of Pakistan was a remote possibility and there was a definite preference for a new Indian Union which was the main objective and suggestion and the draft declaration interviews and explanations of Sir Stafford were going against Muslim interests and the League was called upon to play the game with a loaded dice. He asked Cripps to make adjustments in order to give real effect to the Pakistan demand. On 13 April 1942, at a press conference, he pointed out that Pakistan demand was not conceded clearly and the right of Muslims to self determination was also denied. These proposals were therefore rejected by the Muslim League.
