Expert Answer
The Cabinet Mission rejected the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan for the following reasons:
(i) The creation of Pakistan could not solve minority problem as the number of Muslims in the remaining part of British India and the number of non-Muslims in Pakistan would still be very large.
(ii) League had demanded the inclusion of the predominantly non-Muslim parts of Punjab, Bengal and Assam.
(iii) The creation of a small sovereign State of Pakistan composedto the Muslim majority areas alone would still not solve the communal problem.
(iv) The division of the Punjab would also result to the large scale displacement of the Sikh community mainly based in the Punjab.
(v) Even from economic, administrative and military perspective, the existence of West and East Pakistan would be difficult as travel and communication between the two would heavily depend on the whims and fancies of the Indian government.
