What were the main recommendations of the Cripps Mission?
The Cripps Mission was sent to India by the British Government under the leadership of Sir Stafford Cripps in 1942. It made the following recommendations: It recommended making India a dominion state after the end of the Second World War. To frame the Constitution for India, a Constituent Assembly would be established consisting of all elected members. The provinces which did not agree to the Constitution would retain their present position. In the new Constitution, there would also be a provision to enable the princely states to participate. However, these states would not be bound by the new Constitution. After the formation of the Constitution, there would be a treaty between Britain and India to chalk- out a framework for the transfer of political power.
