Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1931.

 

The Second Round Table Conference was held in London from September to December 1931. It was part of a series of three conferences organized by the British Government to discuss constitutional reforms in India and find a way forward for Indian self-governance.

Key highlights:

  • Mahatma Gandhi attended this session as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress, following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact signed in March 1931.

  • The conference saw heated discussions on the rights and representation of minorities, including Dalits, Muslims, Sikhs, and women.

  • Disagreements, particularly on the issue of separate electorates, eventually led to a lack of consensus.
