  • The USA and the Soviet Union supported India's freedom struggle.

  • The Cabinet Mission came in February 1946.

  • The plan proposed a federation of provinces and states.

  • The Muslim League accepted the plan in its entirety on June 6, 1946.
  • The Congress accepted only the Constitution-making part.
  • The Congress rejected the Interim Government because of limited powers and parity with the Muslim League.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
