Very traditional Labour Politican
Would expect right wing tory views as he's a military man
Gandhi's view
Wanted power to be transferred to Congress
As they won the elections so have the right to make decisions about India
Jinnah View
Knew he would never get Pakistan if Congress put in charge
Also knew British needed Muslim cooperation to avoid disorder
Jinnah avoided confrontation and just wanted for British to make their decision
Wants to keep British in Power, not Congress
Two Important Minorities ignored by Cabinet Mission
Princely States
Princes have treaties to say that British cannot force them to become part of new independent state
Don't want British to leave - will lose power
Sikhs
Geographically, gonna be on borders on Muslim States
Also would like own independent state
