UPSC 2002: The last opportunity to avoid the partition of India was lost with the rejection of
(a)Cripps Mission
(b)Rajagopalachari Formula
(c)Cabinet Mission
(d)Wavell Plan
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Cabinet Mission
The Cabinet Mission of 1946 proposed a loose three-tier federation that could have kept India united, but the Muslim League withdrew its acceptance and demanded a separate Pakistan; its rejection therefore ended the last realistic chance to avert partition. The earlier Cripps Mission (1942), Rajagopalachari Formula (1944) and Wavell Plan (1945) had all failed earlier and were not the final ‘opportunity’.
