Question
Why was the Mountbatten Plan finally accepted by the Congress?
Solution
The experience of working with the Muslim League in the interim government had taught the Congress that it would be impossible to work with them and that it could not have a joint administration with the League. Also, a smaller India with a strong centre was considered better than a big federation with a weak centre. Hence, the Indian National Congress accepted the Mountbatten Plan.
