The resolution called for independent states as seen by the statement: 1942 The British were alarmed at the successive victories of Japan during 1940s. When Burma was turned inta a battle field and the war reached the Indian boarders, the British started feeling more concerned about the future of India, Situation in the country was further complicated as the Congress wanted to take advantage of the situation by accelerating their efforts in their struggle for independence. Moreover the differences between the Congress and the Muslim League were widening fast and visibly there was no chance to bring both the parties on a common agenda. In these circumstances, the British Government sent a mission to India in 1942 under Sir Stafford Cripps, the Lord Privy Seal, in order to achieve Hindu-Muslim consensus on some constitutional arrangement and to convince the Indians to postpone their struggle till the end of the Second World War. When the war ended in August 1945, Viceroy Lord Wavell decided to hold a political conference ta which he invited Muslim League and Congress representatives, The conference began in Simla on June 24, 1945 and lasted till July 14, 1945. The Viceroy proposed an interim Central Government in which all the portfolios except that of war would be given to Indians.
