Simla Conference

The Simla Conference took place in 1945 and was a crucial meeting aimed at discussing India's future post-World War II. Key participants included British leaders and representatives from the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. The main goal was to negotiate India's potential independence and how to manage communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims. Despite significant discussions, the conference failed to reach an agreement, primarily due to disagreements over the distribution of power and representation. This failure contributed to the eventual partition of India in 1947.
