Mahatma Gandhi participated only in the Second Round Table Conference, held in London in 1931. He attended as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. The conference focused on constitutional reforms for India, but it ended in failure due to disagreements over separate electorates for minorities and the question of communal representation.

The Second Round Table Conference was a critical diplomatic event where Gandhi sought to present the Congress’s demand for “Purna Swaraj.” However, the session was mired in the “Communal Question,” as various groups demanded separate electorates. Gandhi opposed these demands, fearing they would fragment the Indian national identity. Disappointed by the British government’s lack of commitment to full independence and the focus on communal divisions, Gandhi returned to India and resumed the Civil Disobedience Movement. His visit, however, garnered significant international media attention for the Indian cause.
