Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Simla Conference
Lord Wavell’s plan, placed before the Simla Conference of June–July 1945, proposed to reconstitute the Viceroy’s Executive Council so that all portfolios, including the crucial War (Defence) member, would be held by Indians, leaving only the Viceroy and C-in-C as exceptions. This specific suggestion did not come from the Simon Commission (1927), Cripps Mission (1942) or the later Cabinet Mission (1946).
