Cabinet Mission was a high powered delegation of British officials that visited India in 1946 to discuss power transfer from British to Indian leadership. Its aim was to devise a plan for transfer of power, establishing a body for constitution and setting up of an executive council to oversee these matters in consultation with local leadership. Cabinet mission suggested of dividing India into three groups with a central government in Delhi that would control defense , currency, and diplomacy and rest of the matters would be provincial subjects. Indian National Congress rejected the plan as it had suggested division of India. Muslim league was however more eager to accept the plan but rejection of Congress meant the mission returned failed.
