Mountbatten Plan actually prepared the base for the Indian Independence Act, of 1947. The Mountbatten Plan also known as the Plan of 3rd June was accepted by all the political parties in the country. The Muslim League was happy because the Mountbatten Plan decided to go for the partition of India.
Actually in the initial phases of the National Freedom Struggle Indian Masses particularly the educated middle class and capitalists were the seeker of Independence and the Indian Military Forces under the banner of the British Government oppressing their own people. But it seems the enthusiasm among people for independence spread like waves and these waves stimulated Indian Military Men also.
The members of the mission were of the opinion that the creation of a separate state would not solve the problem of communal riots. It was because the percentage of non-Muslims living in the north-west zone of Pakistan was 37.93% and non-Muslims living in the north-eastern zone was 48.31% of the total population. So, it would be against the wishes and interests of a very large proportion of the population.
the British Government came out with certain negotiations. From now onwards, Britishers were actually trying to have some more years in India, because they knew that their Empire was on its way to shattering. Whereas Indians were enthusiastic and on their way to complete independence.
in the response to Cripps Mission, the Quit India Movement was started. In this movement, Gandhi gave the slogan of Do-or-Die. So, here in this post, we will understand the outburst of the Quit India Movement.
Gandhi decided that he would not lead the movement. He asked people to come for the Individual Satyagraha. Individual Satyagraha was launched to affirm the right to speech. The aim of launching Individual Satyagraha was not to seek only complete independence but to show that nationalist patience is not their weakness.
All these mass movements got leadership from the middle class, finance from the Capitalist class and people from the suppressed class. So, on all the fronts except the military, the Indian Masses were performing very enthusiastically to get independence.
The concept of the Indian Federation was a revolutionary point. Because for the first time Britisher Government accepted India as a single unit from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh.
Complete Independence, previously INC was asking for the dominion status. But after the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, Complete Independence became the slogan of the Indian National Congress.
The eminent leaders of Congress also defined complete independence. The complete independence included sovereignty of the nation. Protection and promotion of minorities. Compulsory education also became the demand of nationalists.
In the Karachi Session of INC, leaders also demanded the fundamental rights of the people.
But after the Civil Disobedience Movement, Gandhi-Irwin Pact, for the first time accepted Indian National Congress as the representatives of Indians. So, this was the point of happiness for Congress. But then the points of sorrow were bigger than the happiness as always
