Question

why crisp misson was sent

Answer 1

On March 11, 1942, the British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill made an announcement in the House of Commons that a member of the War Cabinet, Sir Stafford Cripps, would go to India “to satisfy himself upon the spot by personal consultation that the declaration upon which we agreed, and which we believe represents a just and final solution, will achieve its purposes, Sir Stafford Cripps was a socialist. He was instrumental in persuading Russia to fight along with Allies in the Second World War. For his sterling services, he had been taken in the British I Cabinet. He had come to India twice before and was a friend of Jawaharlal Nehru. So it was hoped that some solution of the Indian political problem was in sight.
