Round Table Conferences [1930-33]

First Round Table was attended by Muslim League, Heads of Princely States and British. Congress did not participate in it because of its Non-Cooperational Movement. Congress wanted British to accept certain demands and then they would participate in the conference. Federal System for India was approved by the participants. They agreed for representative government for India at provicial level. There was a dead-lock at the Provitial level and the minorities and the sub-committee could nut reach an agreeable conclusion.
Second Round Table Conference was attended by all the parties but failed for the reason that Gandhi did not agree upon the minority issue but there were certain success like Sindh and N.W.F.P were given the status of a province.
Third Round Table Conference was a total failure as congress and jinnah did not attend. Only Muslim representatives were there. Nothing was decided in the conference because of the absence of the major leading political parties. It failed automatically without any progress.
