Sri Aurobindo Asram Pondicherry June 15, 1945
We heard the Viceroy's broadcast yesterday.1 Sri Aurobindo says the proposals are decent enough and seem to be even better than Cripps' in certain respects. An Indian will be in charge of foreign affairs and India will have her own representative in foreign countries. This and other circumstances are an approach practically towards Dominion Status. Of course, there are a few features which personally Sri Aurobindo would not advocate, e.g. the apparent foundation of the Ministry on a communal

basis instead of a coalition of parties. Still these should not be a reason for the rejection of the proposals. A fair trial should be given and the scheme tested in its actual working out.

PROPOSALS BETTER THAN CRIPPS' OFFER ACCEPTANCE ADVISABLE.
