Second Round Table Conference (7 September 1931 - 1 December 1931)

The Second Round Table Conference was held at St. Thomas Palace. Gandhi was the representative of Congress. Annie Besant, Madan Mohan Malviya, Mohd. Iqbal, Ghanshyam Das Birla and Ambedkar were other members. Gandhi went to England by the ship, INS Rajputana.
The English rightist leader Winston Churchill was angry with British government that they were negotiating with the seditious fakir on the terms of equality. The Second Round Table Conference failed over the communal issue. Ambedkar wanted separate electoral for the depressed community but Gandhi rejected it.Ultimately this conference ended on 1st December.
