The British government outlined a sweeping "new deal" for India proposing an almost entirely Indian executive council as a step toward self-government. Viceroy Wavell said the council would invite Indian leaders to form a more representative body while the viceroy and commander in chief remain.

Eight Congress working committee members, including Nehru, Patel, and Azad, gained freedom. An official March count cited 1,500 political detainees in India.
