  5. 5Official release of the Cabinet Mission Plan

Cevap

The correct chronological sequence of constitutional events from earliest to latest is: Announcement of the August Offer by Viceroy Lord Linlithgow (August 1940) → Arrival and presentation of proposals by the Cripps Mission (March 1942) → Formulation of the Desai-Liaquat Pact for interim governance (January 1945) → Convening of the Shimla Conference under the Wavell Plan (June 1945) → Official release of the Cabinet Mission Plan (May 1946).
The correct sequence begins with the August Offer in August 1940, followed by the Cripps Mission in March 1942. As wartime political stalemate continued, the informal Desai-Liaquat Pact was drafted in January 1945. Lord Wavell then convened the Shimla Conference in June 1945 based on his plan. Finally, after post-war elections, the British Cabinet Mission announced its structural plan on May 16, 1946.
