Question

(I) is true, but (II) is false. Explanation: The Cripps Mission (April 1942) did propose that India be granted Dominion status after the Second World War. However, the Reason’s wording is incorrect: the Mission’s proposals were rejected by Indian parties, and the Mission failed in 1942 itself, so it did not have a promise that was simply “left unfulfilled after the Second World War.” In short, (I) is correct about the proposal, but (II)’s claim is false/misleading.
