》In March 1942, Sir Stafford Cripps, a member of the British cabinet came with a draft declaration on the proposals of the British Government.
》These proposals were to be adopted at the end of the Second World War provided the Congress and the Muslim League could accept them.
》According to the proposals :
☆ The Constitution of India was to be framed by an elected Constituent Assembly by the Indian people.
☆ The Constitution should give India Dominion Status.
☆ There should be one Indian Union comprising all the Provinces and Indian States.
☆ Any province not accepting the Constitution would be free top retain it's constitutional position existing at that time and with such non acceding provinces the British Government could enter into separate Constitutional arrangements.
