Roundtable Conferences (diplomatic)

Roundtable Conferences were diplomatic meetings held in Britain during the 1930s where Indian political leaders and British officials discussed India's future governance. These conferences aimed to negotiate constitutional reforms and address Indian demands for greater self-rule. The format involved representatives sitting around a table to discuss issues openly, fostering dialogue and understanding. They played a key role in India's path toward independence by providing a platform for negotiation outside formal legislative processes, although they achieved limited immediate results. Overall, they served as important steps in the transition toward self-governance and partition.
