Answer:
What were the reasons that the Cabinet Mission Failed?
While the Muslim League agreed to the proposals and did not wish any changes, the Congress party did not agree to all the proposals. It was against the idea of grouping provinces on the basis of religion. It also argued for a stronger centre.
Since the May plan was not accepted, a new plan was proposed in June. This plan proposed the partition of India into a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority India. A list of princely states was also made that could either join the union or remain independent.
The second plan was not accepted by the Congress. It did agree to be part of the Constituent Assembly.
Lord Wavell invited 14 men from different parties and representing different religious and social groups. When the Congress nominated Zakir Hussain, the League protested claiming Muslims could be represented only by the League. The League stayed away from the process.
Jawaharlal Nehru headed the new interim government and the task of framing a constitution for the country was started.
Governments were formed by the Congress in most provinces including the NWFP. The League formed the governments in Bengal and Sind. It agitated against the new central government.
It urged Muslims to demand and agitate for Pakistan. Jinnah called for ‘Direct Action Day’ on 16th August 1946.
This led to extreme communal violence in many places starting with Calcutta where the first day saw 5000 deaths.
Now the call for the country’s partition became more aggressive. Even those opposed to it concealed that this could be the only solution to end the brutal riots in the country. The Partition of India would become an inevitable reality
