Resource summary
The (Neil) Cripps Mission
Aims
To win backing for the 1940 offer
By discussing the processes that were necessary to bring about dominion status
Only to be implemented after the war
To discuss arrangements for the duration of the war on the basis of the 1935 govt of India act
had some minimal scope for additional indian reps on exec council
Underlying reason
To please the Americans - keep them onside
Allow Churchill to portray Cripps (a political opponent) as a failure
Why it failed
Defeatist attitude from Indians
Hindus and Muslims couldn't work together
Cripps went beyond brief
Offers India their own defence office, without permission, forced to withdraw offer
Churchill set it up to fail
Sent Cripps to offer dominion status
Knew Indians would reject it
But to the Americans it looks like Brits are trying
Clash of personalities between Cripps and Linlithgow - made worse by Cripps coming with no warning
Done on purpose by Churchill?
Congress reaction
Wanted purna swaraj - not offered
Little for Congress to support
Only good offer - Defence Minister - was withdrawn
Muslims appeared to have gained the right to stay out of a future united India
Annoys Congress
Impact/Effect
Ensures greater support from US
they see Brits are trying - give their support
Causes Congress to launch Quit India
Seems to enhance ML's status, they're more willing to negotiate than Congress
Reduced international sympathy for Congress' demand on reform
shown as being awkward and non-negotiable
