Description | Cartoon shows Sir Stafford Cripps as a magician performing the Indian rope trick in which a little man in a turban (labeled "India"), holding a "Self-Government" banner, climbs an unsupported rope (labeled "National Harmony"). In March 1942, the British government sent Cripps to India to try to negotiate a new constitution that would have provided a measure of self-government. It was rejected by the Hindu-dominated Congress Party, in part because it would have allowed the Muslims to form an independent state. |
