  • Mahatma Gandhi represented India in the 1931 Second Round Table Conference.

Second Round Table Conference

  • The second Round Table Conference was held in London from 7 September 1931 to 1 December 1931.
  • After the failure of the First Round Table Conference, the British recognized they needed the participation of the Indian National Congress.
  • On January 26, 1931, Gandhi and other Congress leaders were freed from prison.
  • The resulting discussions culminated in the Gandhi–Irwin Pact (1931) under which the Congress agreed to participate in a Second Round Table Conference.
  • Despite the participation of prominent leaders, the conference failed to reach significant agreements, leading to the resumption of the Civil Disobedience Movement by the Congress.
