    Analyse the provisions of the Cabinet Mission of 1946.

    Answer:

    (1) The Cabinet Mission -recommended a weak three-der confederation. However, India was to remain united.
    (2) A weak central government was proposed. It could control only foreign affairs, defence and communications. The then provincial assemblies were grouped into three sections to elect the Constituent Assembly. Sections A was for the Hindu majority provinces and Sections B and C were for the Muslim majority provinces of the north-west and the north-east.
    (3) In the beginning, all the major parties accepted the provisions of the Cabinet Mission. However, the agreement was short lived. It was based on mutually opposed explanations of the plan.
    (4) The Muslim League wanted the grouping to be compulsory with the right to secede from the union in the future. On, the other hand, the Congress wanted that provinces be extended the right to join a group. As a result of these contradictions neither the Congress nor the League accepted the Cabinet Mission?s provisions.
