Abstract

This paper attempts to investigate the relationship between the British Government in India and His Majesty’s Government in London during Wavell’s viceroyalty of India (1943- 1947). It discusses the differences in ideas, approaches and plans of Wavell with the British political leaders such as Churchill, Cripps, Amery, Pethic Lawrence and Attlee and examines their actions because they shaped the policies of the British Government towards British India.
