Detailed explanation-1: -Why did the Cripps Mission Fail? The proposals were seen as too radical by the British and as too conservative by the INC who wanted complete independence. The Mission was rejected by the INC, the Muslim League and other Indian groups. The Hindu Mahasabha and the Liberals were against the right of states to secede.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1942, the failure of the Cripps’ Mission left no further meeting ground between the British Government and the Congress. Mahatma Gandhi felt that the British presence in India was an invitation to Japan to invade India and that their withdrawal would remove the bait.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did Indian National Congress reject the ‘Cripps Proposal’? The princely states did not have the right to elect their representatives to the Constituent Assembly. Congress wanted the responsibility of the country’s defence in the hands of the national government.
Detailed explanation-4: -The failure of the Cripps Mission and the effects of World War II created widespread discontentment in India. This led Gandhiji to launch a movement calling for complete withdrawal of the British from India.
Detailed explanation-5: -After the failure of the Cripps Mission to secure Indian support for the British war effort, Gandhi made a call to Do or Die in his Quit India movement delivered in Bombay on 8 August 1942 at the Gowalia Tank Maidan.
