Lord Linlithgow (Viceroy of India, 1936–1944) had severely strained relations with Indian leaders during World War II due to:

Unilateral Declaration: He announced India’s entry into WWII (1939) without consulting Indian political parties, angering the Congress and Gandhi.

Quit India Movement (1942): His harsh crackdown on protests (mass arrests, violence) worsened tensions.

Failed Negotiations: Rejected demands for post-war independence, leading to the 1942 Cripps Mission’s collapse.
