The Round Table Conferences were a series of conferences held in London between 1930 and 1932 with the aim of discussing and finding a solution to the constitutional problems in India. The conferences were organized by the British government and were attended by representatives of the British government, the Indian National Congress, and the Muslim League.
The first Round Table Conference took place from November 1930 to January 1931 and was attended by representatives from various political parties and organizations in India, as well as representatives of the British government. The main focus of the conference was on the issue of communal representation and the question of minority rights in a future self-governing India.
The second Round Table Conference took place from September to December 1931 and was attended by a wider range of representatives, including representatives of the princely states and religious minorities. The main focus of this conference was on the issue of federalism and the question of how power would be divided between the central government and the provinces in a future self-governing India.
The third Round Table Conference took place from November to December 1932 and was attended by Mahatma Gandhi, who represented the Congress Party. The main focus of this conference was on the issue of political representation and the question of how power would be shared between the different communities in a future self-governing India.
Overall, the Round Table Conferences were an important step in the process of constitutional reform in India and laid the foundations for the Government of India Act 1935, which provided the framework for the transfer of power from British rule to self-government in India. However, the conferences were ultimately unsuccessful in finding a satisfactory solution to the complex constitutional problems facing India at the time, and the country eventually gained independence through a different process.
