11: Independence and Partition of India
- #32Why did the Cabinet Mission Plan reject the demand for Pakistan?Ans : The Cabinet Mission Plan rejected the demand for Pakistan because:
- The partition as claimed by the Muslim League would not solve the communal problem.
- A small Pakistan would not be viable if it is in two halves: One in the East the other in the West.
- Partition would involve dislocation of communication networks as well as division of armed forces and service personals along communal lines.
