Question

_______ is considered the Mountbatten plan as "the best and beneficial act given by the British"

Answer 1

Answer: British India was to be partitioned into two dominions – India and Pakistan.

The constitution framed by the Constituent Assembly would not be applicable to the Muslim-majority areas (as these would become Pakistan). The question of a separate constituent assembly for the Muslim-majority areas would be decided by these provinces.

As per the plan, the legislative assemblies of Bengal and Punjab met and voted for the partition. Accordingly, it was decided to partition these two provinces along religious lines.

The legislative assembly of Sind would decide whether to join the Indian constituent assembly or not. It decided to go to Pakistan.
