1.	What was cripps missison
Answer» The cripps mission was sent by the british government to india in march 1942 to obtain indian cooperation for the british war efforts in the 2nd world war . It was headed by sir Richard Stafford cripps , a labour minister in Winston Churchill\'s coalation government in britain. In early 1942, the war situation compelled the British to open talks with the Indian leaders. The British forces had suffered heavy defeats at the hands of the Japanese army in many countries of south-east Asia. The Japanese also conducted air raids on some parts of India. At this time Sir Stafford Cripps, a British minister, came to India to hold talks with Indian leaders. This is known as the Cripps mission. The talks, however, failed. The British were not willing to agree to the formation of a truly national government. They also tried to promote the interests of the princes. While they agreed to the demand for a constituent assembly, they insisted that the Indian states in the assembly would be represented by the nominees of the princes, and that the people of the states would have no representation on it.
