After Quit India Movement, C. Rajagopalachari issued a pamphlet entitled “The Way Out”. Which one of the following was a proposal in this pamphlet?

C. Rajagopalachari's "The Way Out" pamphlet (1944) was an attempt to resolve the political deadlock after the Quit India Movement.

Option B is correct: A key proposal in "The Way Out" was the reconstitution of the Central Executive Council. Rajagopalachari suggested that all its members, except the Governor-General and the Commander-in-Chief, should be Indian leaders. This aimed at forming an interim national government with significant Indian representation to facilitate the war effort and pave the way for independence. This proposal was a practical step towards greater Indianization of the administration.

Option A is incorrect: While War Advisory Councils were part of earlier British proposals (like the August Offer), Rajagopalachari's focus in "The Way Out" was on transferring executive power to Indians, not merely establishing an advisory body.

Option C is incorrect: While elections and a constitution-making body were ultimate goals, "The Way Out" (1944) focused on immediate steps to form an interim government and resolve the Congress-League issue. The specific timeline for elections at the end of 1945 was more characteristic of later British plans.

Option D is incorrect: This statement describes the general purpose of the pamphlet, not a specific proposal contained within it. The question asks for a concrete proposal.
