                  3. Mountbatten's grand plan
                    1. Plan proposed that all decisions would be freely made at a provincial level
                      1. So the 11 British provinces would be allowed to decide whether to be autonomous or join larger groups
                        1. Bengal and Punjab would be able to partition themselves if that was seen as popular preference
                          1. Princely states could also remain autonomous or join with others
                            1. At best this might be seen to permit local agreement in the hope of a gradual formation of economically stronger groups
                              1. At worst, it seemed Mountbatten was trying to wash his hands of any decision making from the start
