Proposals of the Cripps Mission:

1. After the war, the Sub-continent will be under the Crown but the British Government would avoid interfering in internal as well as external affairs.
2. Defence, Foreign Affairs, Communication etc. will be handed over the Indians.
3. The members of the provincial Legislative Assemblies will elect a Central Assembly for framing the constitution. After the constitution is framed, it will be sent to all the provinces for confirmation. The provinces which would not approve the constitution would have the authority to establish their independent status.
4. Appropriate steps will be taken for the security of minorities.
