The Round Table Conferences were a series of three conferences held in London between 1930 and 1932 to discuss constitutional reform in India. The conferences were held in response to the growing demands of Indian nationalists for greater political representation and a more democratic system of government in India.
The First Round Table Conference was held in November 1930 and was attended by representatives of various Indian political parties, as well as by British officials. The conference discussed the recommendations of the Simon Commission, which had been appointed by the British government in 1927 to review the constitutional arrangements in India and make recommendations for reform.
The Second Round Table Conference was held in September 1931 and was attended by representatives of various Indian political parties, as well as by British officials. The conference discussed the report of the Joint Select Committee, which had been established to consider the recommendations of the Simon Commission and to make further recommendations for constitutional reform in India.
The Third Round Table Conference was held in November 1932 and was attended by representatives of various Indian political parties, as well as by British officials. The conference discussed the recommendations of the Joint Select Committee and reached a consensus on the proposed constitutional reforms, which were later incorporated into the Government of India Act 1935.
Overall, the Round Table Conferences were an important step in the evolution of the Indian independence movement, and they laid the groundwork for the eventual grant of independence to India in 1947.
