FAQs about Quit India, INA, Cabinet Mission, Mountbatten Plan and Independence – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

Why did the Cripps Mission fail?
The Cripps proposals promised dominion status only after the war and did not give Indians real power at once. The talks broke down when the Congress insisted on an Indian holding the defence portfolio in the Viceroy's Executive Council.
What was the Satara prati sarkar?
It was a parallel government set up in Satara in Maharashtra during the Quit India Movement. It ran its own administration and people's courts, and is linked with Nana Patil.
What was Direct Action Day?
Direct Action Day was the Muslim League's call to press its demand for Pakistan after it withdrew support from the Cabinet Mission plan. It was followed by communal riots in Calcutta that lasted several days.
What is the Instrument of Accession?
It was the legal document by which a princely state's ruler joined India. Most rulers signed it, usually handing over defence, external affairs and communications to the Indian government.
