Explanation

The Cripps mission failed due to Quit India movement. The Cripps mission was an attempt in late March 1942 by the British government to secure Indian cooperation and support for their efforts in World War II. The mission was headed by Sir Stafford Cripps, a senior left-wing politician and government minister in the War Cabinet of Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Congress ministries resigned October and November 1939 because the Government of India declared India to be at war with Germany, against Viceroy Lord Linlithgow's action of declaring India to be belligerent in the Second World War without consulting the Indian people. August Offer was held in individual satyagraha and cabinet mission plan was the direct action day.
