The correct answer is Both 1 and 2. Important Points As the World War II situation worsened, President Roosevelt of the USA and President Chiang Kai-Shek of China as also the Labour Party leaders of Britain put pressure on Churchill to seek the active cooperation of Indians in the War. To secure this cooperation the British Government sent to India in March 1942, a mission headed by a Cabinet minister Stafford Cripps, a leftwing Laborite who had earlier actively supported the Indian national movement. Hence, statement 1 is correct. Even though Cripps announced that the aim of British policy in India was the earliest possible realization of self-government in India, the Draft Declaration he brought with him was disappointing. The Declaration promised India Dominion Status and a constitution-making body, after the war, whose members would be elected by the provincial assemblies and nominated by the rulers in case of the princely states. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
