cabinet mission plan-
Background
The UK government led by its Prime Minister Clement Atlee formed the Cabinet Mission to India in 1946 with a view to discuss the transfer of power and resolve the constitutional deadlock between the Indian political leaders.Members of the mission: Lord Pethick-Lawrence, the Secretary of State for India; Sir Stafford Cripps, President of the Board of Trade; and A V Alexander, the First Lord of the Admiralty.Lord Wavell was not a member but was involved.
Objectives
To obtain an agreement with the Indian leaders as to the framing of a constitution for India.To formulate a constitution-making body (the Constituent Assembly of India).To establish an Executive Council with the support of the major Indian parties.
Mountbatten plan-
The Mountbatten Plan proposes the partition of India and the speedy transfer of responsibility, initially in the form of Dominion Status, to Indian Governments for the sections of a divided India.
Formally, the Plan does not lay down the partition of India, but provides machinery for the areas affected by the Pakistan demand to choose, either through their Legislative Assembly representatives or through referendum, between a single Constituent Assembly in accordance with the Cabinet Mission Plan, or a separate Constituent Assembly for a separate State. This involves division of the Punjab and Bengal so that the Moslem-majority areas and non-Moslem majority areas can decide separately. In practice, on the basis of existing representation, this means partition, including almost certainly the partition of the Punjab and Bengal.
