Solution
- The first Roundtable conference was from 12 November 1932 to 19 January 1931. Before this, Gandhiji had already started the civil disobedience movement on behalf of the Indian National Congress.
- Consequently, the Congress leaders were in jail and were not able to participate in the first conference. However, the representatives of all other Indian parties, as well as a number of princes, did attend this conference. However, the outcome in the first Roundtable conference proved to be meaningless.
- It was proposed that India would develop into a federation, the defence system would be improved, and the finance was also agreed. However, little effort was made to implement these recommendations.
- The civil disobedience movement continued in India. The British government then realized that the Indian National Congress needed to be a part of this conference to decide the future of constitutional government in India.
