Q. Which of the following was not a part of the August Offer?
(a) Promise of the dominion status in an unspecified future.
(b) Indianisation of the Viceroy’s Executive Council.
(c) Formation of a War Advisory Council.
(d) Immediate convening of a Constituent Assembly.
Ans: (d) Immediate convening of a Constituent Assembly.
Explanation:
The correct answer is (d) Immediate convening of a Constituent Assembly.
The August Offer, also known as the August Declaration, was a proposal made by the British government in 1940 as an attempt to address Indian demands for self-governance and participation in the war effort during World War II. However, the option mentioned in (d) regarding the immediate convening of a Constituent Assembly was not part of the August Offer.
